“A billion years from now, when everything on Earth we've ever made has crumbled into dust, the Voyager record will still speak for us.” Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan

When the Voyager 1 spacecraft left the earth's atmosphere in 1977, it carried with it a golden phonograph record to be played by extraterrestrial beings.
