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.
Voyager 1 was launched on the 5th of September 1977 and Voyager 2 was launched before voyager 1 on the 20th of August 1977.
approx. 50 cents, if you want it to return 300 billion.
There are currently no plans for a Voyager 3 spacecraft. The original Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft were launched in the 1970s and continue to send back data from the edge of our solar system. If there were to be a Voyager 3 mission, it would likely be designed for exploring even farther reaches of space.
Voyager 1 arrived in November 1980 and Voyager 2 in August 1981.
Yes, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) remains in communication with both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. While the spacecraft are in interstellar space, they continue to send back scientific data, with Voyager 2 being 11 billion miles away and Voyager 1 more than 14 billion miles away from Earth.
Voyager 1 never visited Neptune. Voyager 2 has. Voyager 2 is currently the only scientific instrument to do a fly-by of Neptune.
i think it was voyager 1 or 2

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 did not visit the planet Pluto. Voyager 1's trajectory did not take it close to Pluto, and Voyager 2 was redirected after its Uranus encounter to head out of the solar system in a different direction.
Voyager 2 was sent out first to allow it to take full advantage of an unusually convenient alignment of the planets allowing it to visit Uranus and Neptune as wellVoyager 1 was launched after voyager 2, but on a faster trajectory which allowed it to reach Jupiter and Saturn before voyager 2.
