Voyager Golden Record: "Message in a Bottle"
Right now, a gold-plated copper disc is tumbling through interstellar space — fifteen billion miles from Earth — carrying the sound of thunder, surf, laughter, Bach, Beethoven, and Chuck Berry. It will survive for one billion years. It may never be found.
In the summer of 1977, Carl Sagan had six weeks to answer an impossible question: What does humanity sound like? The story of how he and a small team of scientists, artists, and dreamers answered that question — and the love story encoded in the disc’s grooves — is one of the most profound creative acts in human history.
This is the story of the Voyager Golden Record. And a meditation on why we make things at all — even when no one is guaranteed to be listening.
This Creative Journey explores the lives of people who changed the world through their creativity.
