That craft had two pilots onboard, this one had a single remote pilot. It's a real challenge to design a small craft that maximizes payload and minimizes fuel consumption along with scores of other constraints.

Voyager also needed a long runway for launch and probably costs vastly more than this drone. Its use case as an emergency communication device is revolutionary.
