In 1977, the United States launched two robotic probes into space. These probes are known as Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They’re still out there, and though their mission has been altered a few times, the most interesting detail about their presence in space isn’t what these probes are meant to capture, but what they carry onboard. 

This episode is about a golden message-in-a-bottle drifting through space, what it says about who we are, and, more importantly, who we hope to be.
