I recommend seeing The Farthest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znTdk_de_K8) if you have any interest at all in this.

I'd also highly recommend "NASA Voyager 1 & 2 Owners' Workshop Manual" https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0857337750

It goes into amazing detail on the history of the spacecraft and the events that made it possible. For example: the story of an intern figuring out the '3 body' problem and, from there, the concept of 'gravity assist' gave me goosebumps
