The Golden Record
From Dominique Johnson | Part of the Come As You Are series | 03:47:58
We wanted to know what's out there. We wanted to tell our stories, too. So we sent a message in a bottle out into interstellar space. The NASA Voyager missions left Earth in 1977 to send messages, data, and images back to us. It also had a vinyl record --- made of gold ---- full of music by Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach --- a lot of Bach. This Golden Record playlist said so much about who we were. But what if it was really more about who we hope to become?
