The Voyager Golden Record: A reminder that we are all connected

The Voyager Golden Record shot into space in 1977 with a message from humanity to the cosmos - and decades later, it stands as a reminder that we are all connected.
The United Nations displays a replica of the Golden Record at its Headquarters, and shares a deep connection to the process of creating it. A NASA committee asked the UN to provide materials to include on the playlist, and the first words on the Record itself are those of the then-UN Secretary-General expressing hope for peace and friendship with whoever discovers and plays it.
Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” CEO of the Planetary Society, walks viewers through how to decipher the Golden Record, its significance today, and how reverence for the universe can inspire action for our planet.
This aligns with the ongoing work of the United Nations to promote international cooperation in the peaceful use and exploration of space.
The Director of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, Simonetta Di Pippo, explains the significance of the Golden Record in our world now. “The undertaking of the Voyager project reminds us of who we are, where we came from, and that we should treat each other with care.”

The elocution of what this project was, The fact that we decided to include something like these artifacts of ourselves, to, in some small way say to the universe: _"we were humans, we lived on a planet we called Earth, and we are reaching out along the vastness of time and space to let you know we existed, and this is a very small part of who we were."_ This as always makes me tear up. Really.

It could be. But i think they will know it because this was in the first steps of space travel, i mean we are still in it and there was never a time with such good documentation of historical events, so maybe the would learn about it in school like we learn the things of our history know. Atleast if these documents will still exist and are not lost. But in some way it would not be depressing because it would be cool in some way, because this thing is lie a time capsule and they will find this record frozen in time, in a time wich is long gone for maybe thousands or millions of years.

It makes me sentimental in some way. But it is cool that there will be a reminder of our existence that could maybe be found and maybe the aliens will figure out how to use it correctly and they will know that we existed and in some way we are immortal through that, or atleast we will "life" way longer then we probably do as a species. But we never know maybe we will some day venture out of our solar system and allot of systems will contain evidence of us.

The Voyager team should have included a record player on the spacecrafts. When space aliens find the golden records I doubt they'll be able to figure everything out to play them. They won't be able to drive to their closest Best Buy, get a record player, and then play this human made puzzle that they found. It would have been cheap to do. A very nice record player bought in the 1970's would have only cost a couple hundred dollars each. $1,000 tops, if you were a true audiophile. That's nothing compared to the $865 million cost of the Voyager spacecrafts. Oh well. I think it's too late to have the Voyagers turn around to pick up record players. ;)

Rather than starting off being very sarcastic and negative toward the 1977 satellite communication record, perhaps Bill Nye could have come up with a better “modern day” technique for possible outer world communication? No, of course he couldn’t. One can make the very same claim about his view on this and say that he has made this video message for himself, not for the people that are listening, an opportunity for him to reflect on himself, and what he believes is real, temporarily unaware that there is more to learn, even now, 47 years later, about this life and beyond. Very “2020’s” thinking - don’t ask me to communicate- I’m busy staring at my phone. Should have put that on the record!
