Not fast enough....

That sucker has to move a lot faster if we are going to have any chance at all of beating broadcasts of Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire to the next star system.

Actually

That show would be a better representation of much of the world, then anything that the spacecraft is carrying. :)

Voyagers' message

This is Voyager's message to the universe:
"This is a present from a small, distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and
awesome universe." - Voyager 1 and 2 discs. Pictures of disks and sound files of our greeting to the universe available at JPL website, search Voyager. It seems the launchers thought this may be the only record ever received unless space exploration is funded further and faster.
