So most of us know that Voyager space craft is still going powered since the 1977 and is expected to run out and lose signal to NASA and By then it will be just a piece of metal floating in a trajectory heading to a new star which might take thousands of years. But what If the voyager finds its way to a new planet with aliens? The golden Record will show those people who we are ..

Vsauce did a cool video about this

^^ edit i doubt that they are "humans" per say but none the less the thought of an extraterrestrial species actually discovering it is quite riveting and whats more is the thought that one day they may be able to use it to guide themselves to us here on earth.

Well we're largely a part of freak changes (cambrian explosion, etc), so I wouldn't hold out much hope that there will just happen to be the same series of events that produce any other creatures out there

Given the craft's trajectory, statistically speaking, the likelihood that a powered-down piece of debris will just happen to float through a solar system with intelligent life is, well... low.

And if somebody smart finds it, theres basically a map to where we are, so if they're evil, we're going to be invaded!

There are 300 sextillion Stars . This just boggles my mind as what type of thinks we don't know about what ever THIS (everything) is.... I think there are life forms like us maybe ahead of us in technology and behind. Maybe when we were still in caves other planets in diff galaxy where doing internet memes :p

I first came to know about the Golden Disks in the TV show Beast Wars when I was a kid



Ahh this brings back memories of nostalgia!
