I beg anybody to rephrase it understandingly with using some units similar to football fields. Is it possible to launch a little cheap rocket with a transmitter just to correct Voyager's position?

More like it can go from Earth to Moon in like 8 hours(or so).

For reference

- my quick calculation shows just over 7 hours 6 minutes based of google saying the moon is 384,400 km away.

- It took 3 days for Apollo 11 to reach the moon.
