balducci Loyal user Canada 227 Posts	Posted: Dec 14, 2010 07:51 am 0 This is kind of neat .. I sorta forgot about Voyager after Star Trek: The Motion Picture: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11988466 Make America Great Again! - Trump in 2020 ... "We're a capitalistic society. I go into business, I don't make it, I go bankrupt. They're not going to bail me out. I've been on welfare and food stamps. Did anyone help me? No." - Craig T. Nelson, actor.

hoodrat Veteran user Southern California 388 Posts	Posted: Dec 18, 2010 09:31 pm 0 The article failed to mention about the gold-plated phonograph records titled "Sounds of Earth" that are attached to the Voyager spacecraft. The records contain recordings of "hello" spoken in many, many languages. There are also pictures stored on the disc, bits of music from classical to rock-and-roll, and a simple diagram/map of our planet's location in reference to the Sun. I wonder if someone or something will ever find those spacecraft billions of years from now? Information about the records is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record

There's also a simplistic diagram of what is needed to play the recording. That's why they used a record as opposed to a tape (I don't think digital information had progressed far enough when V'ger and its ilk were launched.) It was decided that a analog recording would have a better chance of being reproduced. "...and if you're too afraid of goin' astray, you won't go anywhere." - Granny Weatherwax
