~e; The Voyager Interstellar Record

[bc <human@electronetwork.org>]

  i was just placing some information online about a book
  by the late Carl Sagan that documents the Voyager
  Interstellar Spacecraft Missions (VIM) and its Record.

  more info about the missions and spacecraft is at:
  http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/

  more info about the "record" of the VIM is at:
  http://vraptor.jpl.nasa.gov/voyager/record.html

  last i heard, both craft have exited the solar system.

  if you have a moment, you may enjoy what was on the
  record attached to the spacecraft. the book i have has
  a lot more details than the website, and yet the website
  gives a glimpse of what a wonderful experiment this is.

  the book's dedication:

  "To the makers of music- all worlds, all times"

[also, in terms of 'multimedia' i view this is one of the greatest
works of the 20th century in terms of art-science-technology
combined into one, and performing several simultaneously.]
