The correct answer to this question is Voyager 1. This was launched in 1977 on September 5. The launch happened in Florida at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Decades later, the space ship is still working. However, once the year 2025 hits, Voyager 1 is not expected to be able to transmit. This is because the internal power will run out around this time.

In 2012 and in the month of August of that year, Voyager 1 entered interstellar space. Six years later, in February of 2018, Voyager 1 was approximately 141 units from Earth. This is converted into 13.2 billion miles.

Voyager 1 is presently a human-made object farthest from the earth. It’s farther away from our world than any other human creation. It is up there in the galaxy floating around. It is the farthest human trajectory in outer space.

It is a space probe launched by NASA in September 1977 and has been in existence for almost forty years. It is the first and only space probe that has penetrated interstellar space, which is the part of the area that is free from the control of a certain star.

It is at 20 billion kilometers, and it is the farthest spacecraft from the earth. Voyager 1 has provided researchers and scientists with important information about its moons, surrounding asteroids, rings, and other items from Jupiter’s system.

The man-made object that has gone farthest into space is also known as the Voyager 1. This was sent to space last 1977 and it has now gone far away from earth. The best thing about it is that it is still moving. Some believe that this is also one of the fastest man-made objects that are ever made.

Only time will tell if people would be able to top this with other man-made objects that are already great to have. Some believed that it was able to leave the solar system in the year 2012 but after much speculations, they have decided that the item is still going through interstellar space.

Voyager 1 is the farthest man-made object in space. It was launched on September 5, 1977, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Interestingly, it is still operating today in 2018 although it is not expected to be able to transmit when its internal power runs out in about 2025. Almost 35 years after it was launched, Voyager 1 officially entered interstellar space in August 2012.

As of February 2018, Voyager 1 is “roughly 141 astronomical units (sun-Earth distances) from Earth. That's roughly 13.2 billion miles, or 21.2 billion kilometers. You can look at its current distance on NASA’s website.”
