Voyager 1 Golden Record - Launched 1977 (12,000,000,000 - 12 billion miles from Earth now)(25,000,000,000,000 - 25 trillion miles to nearest Star - Alpha Centauri which it won't pass by) will be 44,000 years before - well coming across nothing but Space-Time.

Berry's recording of the song was included on the Voyager Golden Record, attached to the Voyager spacecraft as representing rock and roll, one of four American songs included among many cultural achievements of humanity. (about 50 minutes in on the Golden Record) (Recorded in 1958 - written in 1955)

Well, that recording to me is sounding well - thin.
Only made it through about 55 minutes of the total over 5 hours of sounds from Planet Earth so far, listen to more later.
36-37 years in Outer Space travelin' out there in the Void. Just left the Solar System into Interstellar Space.
According to one person's comment, the record is suppose to last a billion years.
 
I don't know right now if I am just to shrug my shoulder and wonder if at all why they put the sounds they did at that time on that Golden Record.

A BBC documentary about Voyager 1 passing out of our solar system, and still transmitting back,  is still one of the most moving things I've ever seen.

Payola?
 
Or just the natural inclination to think stuff that seems sort of important to you will seem important to someone far away in space or time.

If you wish to send Voyager I "Merry Christmas" you will have to send the message 18 hours before Christmas Day.

I suppose also (which I do) is skip around the video by moving the red circle of the time in the video hoping the streaming catches up to where you want to move it to.
