This legitimately made me sad when I heard they might lose this satellite. It's the farthest humans have ever sent anything beyond Earth, and it might always be the case. The science data coming back from this is invaluable.
We'll surely get faster. Remember that Voyager 1 actually made a pass around one of the planets (Jupiter?) specifically to slow it down so that it could start gathering data. It would not be (relatively speaking) hard to send something out at a far greater velocity.
That fly by of Jupiter was the original purpose of the mission.
I am always fascinated by the magnitudes nasa overengineers their missions. The Mars rovers for example. They always get so much more out of it.
I'm glad they do, a lot of the missions I work around have been flying for 20 years when their original mission duration was supposed to be 5 years. The science they do is fantastic.
