Sagan envisioned the ingenious idea of affixing to the Voyager probes a small gold record containing information about this planet, for its potential recovery by an alien species. This book presents a discussion of the conceptionalization and carrying out of the effort to place this gold record on the two Voyager spacecraft sent outside the Solar System. This Voyager Interstellar Record contained digital information on the planet Earth, including photographs, sounds, music, and greetings in more than 40 languages. It was designed to tell an extraterrestrial intelligence who encountered it something about this planet and the life that thrives here, and to give that life form a general idea of where Earth was located in space. I have always been fascinated by the Voyager spacecraft. The thought of those little workhorses still spinning through space decades after being launched, endlessly and patiently faithful to the commands of those who made them and sent them on their way is always incredible to me. And as our first ambassadors to whatever may live beyond our solar system, nothing is more evocative than the little gold record each carries, with the voices, music and images of humanity. The story of how the record was assembled, the difficulties in finding exactly what the creators wanted to put on it, the instances of serendipity where they found content that was perfect by sheer chance, is enthralling . This book is a treasure, and the farther the little spacecraft travel into the cosmos, the more precious it will become. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
In 1977, two extraordinary spacecraft called Voyager were launched to the stars. Affixed to each Voyager craft was a gold-coated copped phonograph record as a message to possible extra-terrestrial civilizations that might encounter the spacecraft in some distant space and time. Each record contained 118 photographs of our planet; almost 90 minutes of the world's greatest music; an evolutionary audio essay on "The Sounds of Earth"; and greetings in almost sixty human languages (and one whale language). This book is an account, written by those chiefly responsible for the contents of the Voyager Record, of why they did it, how they selected the repertoire, and precisely what the record contains.
