  • Whne you jump on a train do you ‘slip’ backwards, because the train moved under you? No, you don’t. Why? Because you have inertia. When you jump you don’t magically come to a halt, you continue moving at the same speed as the train, so you don’t move realtive to it. It’s the same with Voyager. It didn’t come to a halt when we launched it, it moves at the same speed as our solar system and thus doesn’t ‘slip away’.

    TL;DR

    An object in motion will stay in motion
