It is indeed Voyager I which was launched in 1977 (I was a mere lad of 20). In recent years, it overtook the Pioneer I and 2 and Voyager 2 spacecraft as being the furthest from Earth. But it is well past the distance to Pluto by now (afterall, he's Disney World/Land, isn't he?). Any guesses as to how many astronomical units (1 au = mean distance from our sun to Earth) away it is now?
Sorry, lunch was enchiladas suizas and charro beans. Yum.
