Voyager’s Golden Record for Aliens Now Available on SoundCloud

Direct soundcloud link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;soundcloud.com&#x2F;nasa&#x2F;sets&#x2F;golden-record-sounds-of" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;soundcloud.com&#x2F;nasa&#x2F;sets&#x2F;golden-record-sounds-of</a><p>I&#x27;m shocked at the extremely low fidelity. It sounds almost like 8 bit crush on top of POTS bandwidth filters. Some had nearly as much noise as signal to my ears -- I never noticed any laughter in #17 <i>Footsteps, Heartbeat, Laughter</i>. Any footsteps were indistinguishable from heartbeats.

I sometimes think (maybe hope) that the purpose of sending Voyager into deep space is to, some day, give someone an excuse to make a quick detour to pick it up and bring it home.

Shame this doesn&#x27;t have the 90-some minutes of music that the original record had on it.<p>Fun fact: Carl Sagan was in charge of the committee that selected these sounds.

I wish we lived in a world as optimistic as that world back then :(

I modified the galactic map of the golden record and have an updated version tattooed across my back.

Correct me if I am wrong, I think these records were publicly available before because I distinctly remember hearing a few of the greetings.

We really need to recall this thing before it gets us all killed
