It has worked flawlessly for 41 years in space, and it's now sending us data from the Galaxy, 13.247 billion miles from Earth (142 times as far as the Sun)…But my most important achievement is that I have built instruments that have been to every planet in the solar system…the only scientist in the world to do so."
