Voyager 1: Humanity's Message in Space

NASA launched a time capsule into space that's still flying right now, 15 billion miles

away. In 1977, they sent Voyager 1 on a one-way mission beyond our solar

system. But they included something extraordinary. A golden record. This disc contains

the sounds of Earth. Music from different cultures, greetings in 55 languages,

whale songs, a mother's kiss, wind, thunder, and human laughter.

Scientists knew Voyager would outlive humanity itself, drifting through the void for billions

of years. So they made it a messenger. A bottle thrown into the cosmic

ocean. Right now, as you watch this, Voyager 1 is traveling at 38,000 miles
