Default Goldberg Variations

Guys. I remember from somewhere that Bach's Goldberg Variations were
put on a spacecraft once that contained a collection of the greatest
achievements of mankind. Could someone point me to a webpage that has
more information?

I can point you to a book that has (almost) all available information
on this topic. It is "Murmurs of the Earth" by Carl Sagan. Go buy it!
