We can leave the Solar System, but arriving anywhere is not happening soon.

The article is a great read, but this paragraph is worth highlighting (referring to Voyager 1):

Whatever fate befalls us now, whatever future civilizations rise and fall, whether we heal the Earth or continue our self-destructive path, we will still, and always, have this. A monument, a marker, a testament to the existence of our species and the ingenuity of our minds. It’s unlikely that any alien civilization will encounter our spacecraft, yet it will still exist, circling the center of the Milky Way for eons to come.
