Greetings from Planet Earth

Is there anyone out there? From the beginning of time the human race has looked to the stars and asked this question. Today, technology makes space exploration possible and allows us to search for an answer.

In 1977, NASA scientists launched Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. The two spacecraft were on a mission to find out more about space and transmit the information back to Earth. They also carried a message to inhabitants of other planets. This message came in the form of a golden record like a time capsule.

It was difficult to decide what to put on the record. Scientists wanted it to represent all the people, languages and species on our planet. So they included information in writing, pictures and sounds that tell the story of planet Earth. There are greetings in 55 languages as well as sounds like thunder, whale song and even a mother's kiss. There are 115 photographs and 90 minutes of music from around the world.

Carl Sagan, a scientist on the team, said that it was like a message in a bottle from a desert island and that it would carry something hopeful about life on our planet. Nobody has answered the message yet, but who knows? E.T. might just be waiting to greet our messenger.
