RIP (October 1, 1924 – December 29, 2024)
It’s crazy, isn’t it. President Carter and Carl Sagan bought genuine class to that whole endeavour.
You just can’t imagine it happening now. Even just *thinking* about the culture-war that’d kick off over the contents of the Golden Record, or what went on the plaque, it’d be insane…
„We are attempting to survive our time so we may live in yours“
Idk why, but this line gets to me
What a bitter disappointment when they get the message and come visit.
Imagine if this was written today.
„Hello, space! This is Earth, the best planet—you’ve never seen anything like it, believe me. It’s the most tremendous planet with the best people, absolutely fantastic. We’ve sent this Voyager thing—it’s big, it’s incredible, so advanced, the best technology ever. Some say it’s historic, and I agree, 100%.
Inside, we’ve got gold—real gold, folks. Not fake gold, real gold! There’s music, pictures, and all kinds of things from Earth. Everyone is included—Americans (the best), other countries (they’re okay), and even nature—trees, birds, oceans, tremendous oceans.
If you’re out there—and I’m sure you are because there are so many stars, the biggest stars you can imagine—we just want to say, come visit! But only if you’re peaceful. We’ve got great people, incredible hospitality, and the strongest military, just in case!
So, thank you, universe. Let’s Make the Galaxy Great Again!“
I was lucky enough to have met this man whose birthday I share once in a plane from Atlanta to New York, over 30 years ago. He was cool enough to sign an autograph to my girlfriend at the time. He is always going to be the coolest president ever, for a billion years into the future.
I’d like to where voyager will be in a billion years.
There is a very good chance we humans, ourselves, will intercept that message in the future in a distant galaxy.
This message may very well be humanity’s high water mark as a species.
His term in office was fraught with troubles but the man was honorable and the best ex president this country has ever seen. He worked for the betterment of people all over the world for decades after he left office.
The Voyager I project hits different after reading *The Three*-*Body Problem* and learning about the „Dark Forest Theory“ 😬
This was so freaking cool man. It’s short yet somehow so impactful
Humans like Jimmy Carter and Carl Sagan should be inspirations to us all in a time where half our country debates the validity of scientific endeavors
