How would you send a "message in a bottle" to the universe? What would you say to an alien being who might one day find it?
In 1977 two spacecraft launched into space to explore our outer solar system. Voyager 1 has already left our solar system and is the farthest human-made object ever made. Both Voyager probes carry on them a golden record, a big "hello!" from all of us on Earth, just in case someone finds them one day. The golden record has on its outside engraved instructions for how to operate the record, and the record itself contains sights and sounds from our planet, music, and greetings in 55 different languages.
Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan chose these representative photos and audio recordings, and their son spoke the iconic "Hello from the children of planet earth" message. As Carl Sagan said, "The spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced space-faring civilizations in interstellar space. But the launching of this 'bottle' into the cosmic 'ocean' says something very hopeful about life on this planet."
Celebrate the Voyager mission (the spacecraft are still beaming back scientific data!) with this perfect gift for the space aficionado in your life.

These are excellent quality. I bought some for my husband, who loves them, and we bought a set for a friend, who was thrilled. They are pretty cool.

Beautiful items! Shipping takes a while but does come within the estimated time (for me, towards the end of it); the seller gets the item mailed very quickly so on their end things are great. Items were exactly as pictured.
