[Kickstarter] Voyager Golden Record: 40th Anniversary Edition

I'd have to say fuck yeah! to this. $100 seems paltry when compared to one of the greatest and perhaps last remnants of humanity that will exist. If you've seen Star Trek The Motion Picture, or that one episode of Next Generation with the flute, you know where I'm going with this. Those records will probly outlast our planet when our Sun eventually engulfs us. Maybe we'll send something else out that far, but it doesn't seem to be a priority right now.

"Instead of a gold-plated copper disk, the reissue will be made of vinyl." - Bah, humbug.

that record is bullshit because it doesn't have any aphex twin

Like classical music is great and all, but I bet you aliens would fucking love .942937

I wonder someone on a Smashmouth forum somewhere is saying the same thing about 'All Star'.

Aliens will only get in touch with us to ask if there's flac available

$98 or more now gets you the entire box set, plus a slipmat and enamel pin.  and there are FLACs! lol

You guys are so much more steeped in nerd canon than myself. First thing I thought of was this, thanks saturday morning cartoon browsing.

Successfully funded with 10,767 backers. Nice

Ann Druyan, Carl Sagan's widow, who's heartbeat is on the Voyager Record, is doing a panel on the 40th anniversary of the probe's launch:

Is the CD version out yet?

I mailed the label ages ago and back then they said it would get European distribution at some point. Then I forgot about this and now I'm wondering if they're gone already.

Congrats to Ozma Records for winning the Grammy for Best Box Set of 2017, it really is an amazing product.

Norman is now selling the CD and LP box sets for anyone in Europe who would like one:
