NASA's Interstellar Mixtape: Voyager Golden Record
from This Strange World
The Voyager Golden Records are two phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. The records contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form who may find them. This week, Gavin talks about some of the images, music, sounds, and greetings on the record, while Leah and Chris pitch a new updated record that they think should be sent into space. (Hint: The world was very different in the late 70s.)
