The Voyager golden record (flere sprog)

"The Golden Record is basically a 90-minute interstellar mixtape - a message of goodwill from the people of Earth to any extraterrestrial passersby who might stumble upon one of the two Voyager spaceships at some point over the next couple billion years.

They put the project on Kickstarter and expected to sell it mostly to vinyl collectors, space nerds and audiophiles - but they underestimated the appeal."The internet was just on fire, talking about this thing," Daly says.They blew past their initial funding goal in two days, eventually raising more than $1.3milliondollars, making it the most successful musical Kickstarter campaign ever. Among the initial 11,000 contributors were family members of NASA's original Voyager mission team".
