For context: after 42 years of rocketing into space, the Earth’smost far-flung spaceship, the Voyager 1 space probe, has traveledalmost 15 billion miles. Almost. Voyager is traveling over 38,000miles per hour; it streaked past Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus andNeptune years ago and has been in interstellar space for 7?years.
Fifteen billion miles is enough for nearly three round tripsto Neptune, the farthest planet in our solar system, or over 200round trips to Mars. It’s enough to circle the earth at the equatorabout 600,000 times.
It would take the average driver over a million years to drivethat many miles, and in that time he or she would have over 55,000accidents.
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced the induction of 1,316 men andwomen into this elite group of UPS drivers who have not had anavoidable accident for 25 years or more. With those new inductees,the Circle of Honor now includes 10,411 of UPS’s active brown-claddrivers.
