First thought was Star Trek's Voyager....was mildly disappointed when not
BojackTheHorsemanDontActLikeYouDontKnow
It won't be until 2273 that william shatner find it... you're ahead of the curve, OP!!

The disc contains information of where to find us. Aliens who find it might not be good guys. Let that sink in.

IIRC, Sagan's son Nick(?) was used for the Eng lang recording. It was 1-take, dad plonked mic down & asked 'what would you say to Aliens'?

You want the Covenant to discover where Earth is? This is how you do it.
BeepBoopDeepDerp
*facepalm* this was supposed to go on the spacecraft. Damnit Sagan! You had one job!

Show the Megatron recording!

It never needed to be sent out in to space in hopes ET's one day finding it. They have always been here and watch us make it.

Waiting for mine to be shipped

I just listened to a podcast on this... Radiolab I believe?

I always thought "greetings in 55 languages" would be, if anything, confusing for someone trying to decode a language from the materials.

jesus fuck, shipping must have cost you a fortune

"Christ, did they ship this thing from the moon?!" I'll see myself out.

How many light years did you had to wait for this to arrive in mail?

Invader Zim should have started with the Voyager craft reaching his home world.
Solkanarmy
in the mail? weren't they supposed to have launched that thing into space?
MianusStar
Good news everyone...Planet Express!

Shit that's a LOT cheaper than i was expecting

This is awesome, I actually got mine at a used books store when I visited the UK several years ago, at a really great price. My friend ...
kermot
.. took us for a drive north of Carlisle and we came upon a small town with literally a pub and book store. We hit the pub and ...
kermot
... had some amazing fish and chips and bits and went to the bookstore smashed as all hell and the shop keep had the Voyager set ...
kermot
...framed on his wall and I really liked it. I asked if it was for sale and the shop keep said it was and I asked how much?...
kermot
...and he said it was "tree fiddy" and it was at the time I realized the shop keep was a 500 feet tall and from the paleolithic era

This is neat. How many millions do I need for one of my own?

That's a pretty okayish price.
JNied
Thanks.

There are reproductions like this on sale at Thinkgeek.com. Pretty sure it was fairly affordable

Quite a few millions if you want the original.
ProfLiebstrom
Collect only
CountVorkosigan
Someday, I hope people can go to a museum and see the original probe. That would be magical.
JNied
Right right, with enough millions I can buy anything. But how much for the thing @OP got?
staypuftman
About $100, found it on kickstarter
MadeAnAccountJustToFavouriteThis
With no technology available anytime soon would it be possible to retrieve it. Pretty interesting thought!
MadeAnAccountJustToFavouriteThis
So no amount of millions will help you here ;-)

I don't know. Elon Musk might be capable if he wanted to spend his fortune on it.

It's (Voyager 2) 3.3 times as far away from the sun as Pluto, speeding at 15.4 km/s. Even catching up to it within a lifetime would be 1/2
