Apparently, at this very moment, there is some satellite hurtling towards the distant reaches of outer space. On it is something called "the Golden Record".
Here is a visual aid:
(http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/images/VoyagerCover.jpg_2.gif)
Now, this thing is supposedly going to communicate to the aliens what the whole earth thing is about.
In a few moments, I am going to direct you to a site. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to complete the following:
1) Before examining that site, look at the image posted above. You should notice some symbols etched into the Golden Record. Decode their meaning.
2) Now go to the site (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/voyager_record/index_voyager.html) , skip the crappy intro, and see the hidden clues revealed. d'OH! It was so simple, right?! I mean, the answer was practically hitting you over the head wasn't it?!
3) Enter the site, and you'll notice three rings acting as links; sounds, photos and greetings.
The 'sounds' link will provide the pleasantly suprised alien with dogs barking and the sound of tractors.
The 'pictures' link shows some chick licking something, some wacked-out looking motherf#$% eating what appears to be god-knows-what, and some emo-tard pouring water on his face.
The 'greetings' link gives the alien the word "hello" spoken in about 20 languages that they aint even gonna understand in the first place.
HBkojd.
uyio{uo.
YUioyh.
Did you understand those? Just imagine the smiles those heart-warming greetings are going to bring to the alien's faces.
Who is responsible for this PR fiasco in the making?!!
Hell.... barely any of US know how to work a record player anymore. Ya really think the aliens do?
But lets just for a second pretend that the aliens manage to decode the gibberish on the Golden Record and figure out how to make it work. I can't even imagine the look on their faces while watching this low-budget ghetto archive of tard.
No wonder watermelon like Independence day happens. Leave it to the NASA folks to screw it up....
I think this could have very dangerous repurcussions for us. Ugh... just great.
-
lol Nash, I've always wondered what the hell NASA was thinking in making that stupid disc.
I haven't been to the site yet, but I remember this thing well. Even as a kid I wondered just what in the hell some alien being is supposed to do with it.
-
The Golden Disc is better than nothing. Better than say old Broadcast Signals that are reaching galaxies far away only after 50 some years.
Imagine, you are some SETI guy on another planet, and you receive signals about the Nuclear Weapons, War, Genocide, Famine, etc. Coming from Earth. Not to mention mindless advertisements and the likes of modern programming.
I'm sure out there past Alpha Centauri, there itching to spend four days and three nights here on Earth. Earth is probably a vacation destination for the lower income alien familys.

When was the last time something like 'Independence Day' happened? In my encounter the only thing that happened to me was being anally probed... that and the massive headaches...

I know it's a little off your topic Nash, but I found this photo on that site and was amazed by it.
For such old technology to be able to work so well at such a distance is pretty cool
Also, even though the Golden disc is a joke that could probably never be undstood by ET, the actual thought and information that went into it is pretty neat.

Obvious photoshop. Notice the out of place pixelation. Saturn is trying to hump the moon and all the other planets gather in to get a better look? And what is the Deathstar doing there? Nope... not buying it.
-
lol
Those are moons of Saturn and the deathstar is just hanging out.
I just checked the caption and it is labeled "Montage of Saturnian system: Dione front. Tethys. Mimas right. Enceladus. Rhea left. Titan distant top", so I guess you are correct.
Neptune is kinda cool though

Hopefully the Golden Disc will reach them before signals carrying "The Simple Life" or "Who's Your Daddy". Otherwise, were doomed.
-
hmm actually the first earth transmissions any alien were to recieve would be of Hitlers speach at the 39' olimpics. Unfortunatly the damn Nazi's were beaming there particular brand of crap out into the cosmos 1st. So any way u look at it...we r doomed

1936 Berlin... Jesse Owens et al...

Hitler beat Marconi? Guess you flunked history, too.
-
Don't know if it was the Voyager or the Pioneer satellites but on one of them they put in some recordings of some television shows and some Elvis songs.
ack-ack

Im sorry rpm i was refering to televised The 1st MAJOR television transmission wich had any hopes of reaching deep space was Hitlers lil speech.
And FYI I passed History with all A's

WCBS had already been on the air for 5 years, but feel free to play up Hitler.

KDKA Pittsburgh traces it's official start back to 1920, brodcasting the Harding - Cox presidential race. Unofficially, they started in 1916.
But this is much more important:

But...but...that's what they said in the movie Contact!
-
the 1936 Olympics marked the first live TV broadcast of a sports event. Other broadcasts had obviously happened prior to that.
The power of these early broadcasts were extremely limited.
I am sure that the first video images received by ET will be of "I Love Lucy" They will decide that not only is intellegent life on Earth nonexistant, the primative life that exists there must be eradicated to save it from it's own misery.
-
Giving a diagram of DNA was a really bright thing to do.
Hope anyone/thing that finds that isn't looking for a new air atmosphere planet with no 'owners', or at least easily removed ones.
PS Holden, I have to agree.....that's some important stuff ya have posted a piccy of there, especially the short brunette in the middle with the curves.
-
i was driving through new mexico one night and accidentally stumbled upon the VLA (very large array...the radio dishes from the movie contact.) it was up in the mountains and the stars were so bright, that i could see the dishes stretching out for miles. there was no moon. there was a small meteor shower.
it was one of those moments.
god. it was beautiful.
-
seems to me like small flightless birds putting up a "small flightless birds here" neon arrow sign up for all the neighborhood cats to me.
lazs

Nash is just pisssed that the disc didn't have "Eh?" inscribed on it.
:rofl
-
So Nash tell me about "CanaDUH's" space program....would love to hear about their achievements...like when CaNucks walked on the moon, or CaNucks in the Space Station or even LOL CanaDUH's mission to Mars....
*sittin back with popcorn, this will be good*
:rofl
Chit CanaDUH can't build their own freekin car yet.
:D

Yet another NashHole Thread....
Nash do you evar fly in Aces High or just post on the BBS?
Nothing to see here, Move along....

I'm going to blow up the Earth. It obstructs my view of Venus.
Where's the KA-BOOM!? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering KA-BOOM!!

"The Voyager Golden Record is a gramophone record, attached to the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977, containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. It is intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form that may find it. The Voyagers will take about 40,000 years to come close to another star, hence if the other beings do not come our way to meet them, it will take at least that long before the Golden Record is found.
As the probe it is attached to is relatively small and hard to see, it is difficult to assess the likelihood of discovery of the probe in the long term— it depends upon where it ends up. If it is found, and not destroyed, it is certain that it will take a very long time in human terms, and thus the record is a symbolic statement rather than a serious attempt to enter a dialogue with aliens."

please tell me that someone got my V'GER reference. please oh please. or am i that old.

The odds of any space fareing civilization or intelignece actually finding this probe in space is slim to none. The odds of any 2 civilizations actually finding eachother in the galexy are slim at best to begin with givin the vastness of space an time.

Willdcard...rpm's problems stems from the fact that his momma didn't breast feed him as an infant.

ok pardon my ignorance but is Voyager nuclear powered?
Cause if it isn't, it will probably stop emiting any kind of energy, thus becoming virtually undetectable by anyone, except for future earthlings who, knowing its trajectory, will scramble after through hyperspace to retrieve it and sell it on ebay. :p

What, you mean there was a significant contribution on our part, maybe even more so than from Oklahomo. Weren't we the third nation to put a beaver into orbit. I vaguely remember something about canuck scientists helping out and doing calculations to help bring the Apollo 13 guys back home.
Expect the another hissy fit, from the okkie ghetto child.
