Darn! We lost our opportunity to "Send more Chuck Berry."


I am sure that if another civilization on Earth got their hands on the information sent on Voyager in the 70's, they would wonder how we survived as a society.

One daily rotation can be split into two - the Sun remains in view from sunrise to sunset and the stars are in view from sunset to sunrise. One Polar day/night cycle can also be split in two, 6 months of the Sun in view from Polar sunrise to sunset and 6 months of the stars in view from sunset to sunrise.

Is it not bad enough that cretins disgrace themselves here on Earth that they find it necessary to send pseudo-intellectual nonsense into space.

Golden records indeed !, the most astronomically illiterate society the world has ever known however well they do with engineering.
