Voyager 2

NASA/JPL · Launched 1977-08-20 · Interstellar space

The only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune, and it did both on the way out. Launched sixteen days before Voyager 1 on a slower, longer path, it toured all four giant planets before crossing into interstellar space in 2018. It is the second-most distant human object and still talking.
