We learn about what the golden record exactly is, “12-inch golden plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth”. When I originally read this piece, I couldn’t help but wonder how in the hell they were expecting someone to listen to it. All that come with the record was “aluminum jacket” and “needle”.

So, the specie is going to need to build recorder player from scratch for them to listen to it. The idea of loness creeps up into this informative piece by what NASA did “Pioneers 10 and 11”. The main hope of the Voyager project is to find intelligent life. NASA did this almost a last-ditch effect to find life my throwing the pioneers into space just like a desperate stranded survive throwing a note for help, in a bottle, into the great blue ocean in hope

As history dictates, they were wrong and there was a host of Natives that already called the land known as America home. The relationship between the new arrivals and the Natives was controversial at best due to the culture shock of both parties.
