They hum to themselves between the stars.


The link above will take you to a longed-for treasure: the contents of Voyager I & II's Golden Discs of Welcome. These were gold-anodized copper discs that were attached to the two spacecraft, along with the means to play them, and which are now (and presumably will be for a long, long time) drifting out of our solar system.

The discs contained photos, diagrams, recorded greetings, sounds of Earth, and selected pieces of music. Basically it was a mix-tape for whatever aliens happened to come across the craft. "Hey, how's it going? Wanna hang out?" Very 70's, very hopeful. *sigh*

At the site linked above, you can see all the pics and hear all the recordings. It is a great mix. If anybody can tell me how I can get the recordings off that site, I would be incredibly greatful. This is stuff I'd love to listen to in the car.

How wonderful! I remember the 'send more Chuck Berry' joke! I hope someone knows how we can upload/download them - I would love to have them on my mp3 player!!!

Wow. Hope it's still there when I finally get back home some year. You find the greatest stuff :)

*hugs*

I know how to do that...
I am collecting them...
maybe we can work out a place for me to upload them....
or I could burn them to disc...

Wow, that would be wonderful! Either the upload or the disc would suit me fine - whatever's most convenient for you. :)

Well, they are ready for you and anyone else interested...
There are two files. I have them in two kinds of compressed files.
.rar and .zip
I have no clue where to upload them to. One is 94.5mg
the other is 5.78 mg...
If you have high speed and MS messenger, I could send them through there.
I know the one is way to big for e-mail.
Let me know how you want to do this...

Could you upload them at Sendspace? (http://www.sendspace.com/) That's where I do most of my up and downloading, and it's a pretty good site.
