I don't think this comparison is really valid. If you are going through the molecules of air at the speed voyager is currently going it would vaporize. If you're comparing it to more terrestrial speeds, It also ignores the amount of energy imparted by that 1 atom due to the high velocity. The high velocity also means it encounters those singular atoms and a higher rate.
