yes in fact th voyager 1 returned to earth in 2007 and is not based on ground zero
As of December '08 Voyager 1 is about 10 billion miles from Earth
Yes, communications from both of the spacecraft are still received through the Deep Space Network, despite Voyager 1 being the furthest ever man-made object from earth.
Voyager 1 and 2 are both headed out into deep space on trajectories which will eventually throw them completely clear of the solar system. They'll never be close to Earth again. The only way they would ever return to Earth would be if we developed faster-than-light travel (or something close) and went out and picked them up. Or someone might pick them up and return them to us. You know, like those guys with the little trucks who pick up shopping carts and take them back to stores? Like that. Someone with some really, really high tech transportation. Someone with the ability to swing out there and drag them back without too much trouble.
Observation from Earth and probes sent to Jupiter. Most famously Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, both of which reached Jupiter in 1979.
Voyager 1, to the outer edges of the solar system.

Voyager 1 never visited Neptune. Voyager 2 has. Voyager 2 is currently the only scientific instrument to do a fly-by of Neptune.
Voyager 1 is the furthest man-made object from Earth. It is 10.3 billion miles from the Sun. It takes 15 hours for signals to reach Earth from this distance.

Voyager 1 and 2 were launched in 1977, and explored the outer planets during the 70's and 80's. They are still partially operational today, on their way out of our solar system. Voyager 1 is the most distant man made object to date, currently around 116 astronomical units from earth.
The voyager space probes that visited the outer planets in the 70's and 80's, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, while the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 is the furthest man made object from Earth at around 122AU from Earth as of September 2012. That is 122 times the distance between the Earth and Sun.
voyager 1 xD
Voyager 1 was made on earth - it didn't go to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Uranus or Neptune.Voyager 2 didn't got to Mercury, Venus, or Mars.
Disneyland - 1954 Earth Star Voyager Part 1 32-11 was released on: USA: 17 January 1988
i think it was voyager 1 or 2
