They might not get the press coverage that the Voyager missions did, but we're still doing (and planning) cool things in deep space. Just look at New Horizons, JWST, DART, Perseverance and Ingenuity, OSIRIS-REx, Psyche, Europa Clipper, Dragonfly, Uranus Orbiter...

As the cost of launches continues to come down, I am hopeful that the decreased barrier to entry will result in an increase in cool space missions.
