How to design a durable and decipherable message for an intelligent species
elsewhere in the cosmos? We talk to team members from the International
Space University's Space Studies Program about their project Eternal Echo,
an assignment to create an updated version of the Golden Record, a
gold-plated copper disk of sounds and images affixed to both Voyager
spacecraft launched in 1977. Team members explain their methodologies and
ponder the implications of Messaging Extra Terrestrial Life (METI), the
future of humanity, and the need for open-access science to improve life on
Earth now.
