I have made a few attempts to find out about escape velocity and have not learned much yet . From what I have been able to get , Voyager is / was traveling at about 16 kms per second .
I then checked the speed of Haleys Comet, 70 kms per second.
If Haley keeps coming back every 80 years or so , why won't Voyager 2 . Have I got my facts wrong , does anybody know Voyagers current speed , or where I should go to get these details .
Seems to me Voyager is coming home , if I'm right it will be slowing down or stopping soon and starting the return journey???
