text: Provided Voyager 1 does not collide with any stellar objects , the New Horizons space probe will never pass it , despite being launched from Earth at a faster speed than either Voyager spacecraft .
simplified: The New Horizons mission to Pluto was launched from Earth at a faster speed than Voyager 1 , however since that probe will not get all the gravity assists which sped Voyager along its path , it will never pass Voyager 1 .
