GLENN GOULD! I'm so glad this is on the disk. As remarkable as a discovery of an object like voyage would be, if an alien civilisation were able to recover it and interpret the data on this disk they would not think of the technology as very cutting edge.
Glenn Gould and Bach however, now that's something man-kind can be proud of for many billions of years.

@aCitySoFar As Carl Segan (RIP) said, it's just a bottle in a 'ocean' of comic vastness (or something like that)
I think this is more symbolic than us actually trying to make contact. But I think its a nice idea to put more of these in space.

I wonder if some alien analyze the background noize and find that the player also sings.

@airstation828 thats not fair, if anyone deserves to be sent into space it should be justin bieber!

we shoulda sent some global warming up to ruin some other societies planet.

@dovesfan or smashed into pieces by an asteroid or burned to ash by a star :)

@aCitySoFar then again it could become near omnipotent and lose bits of its name plaque ;)

if anything they should just update the record to something else like a cd or something like that
but no new music, 95% of today's "music" is crap not worthy to be ascended to the darkest regions of space
maybe some zep, queen or better yet pink floyd and some modern bands but not many

I wonder if Nasa decided to repeat this experiment today... I dread the thought of Ke$ha or Justin Bieber being the staple of modern music.



Just think, Voyager is still out there and will be long after we die, the thought this could be discovered in thousands of years in some other solar system or crashed in some alien planet...is fascinating.

SO appropriate that Glenn Gould is out there, right now. He was unearthly.
