    It's nothing but truth and love from that corner. And if you disagree we will murder you and burn down any libraries with those lies in it. And I wish it were only 100,000.

    We should be sending out a new "Golden Record" to reflect modern times, some 45 years
    after the first one.

    To the Aliens: (Whom we now believe in, by the way).

    This is now an Aluminum Record, due to runaway inflation.

    We have decided to abandon evolution in favor of devolution.

    Please bring plenty of gasoline if you need any - ours is no longer 35 cents per gallon.

    The previous images of man and women that we sent you should be modified:
    The man now identifies as a woman, and the woman as a man, so just switch the labels.

    Blind Willie is now part of Black Lives Matters.

    Our new feature song is "I (I who have nothing)".

    The animal pictures we sent - well many of them are now extinct - sorry.

    There is no presidential speech on this version, since our current president was not
    elected and he can not string together a complete sentence on a good day.

    The editors of the prior version were Atheist and Marxist. To make up for that we are enclosing the Book of Mormon and the Book of Scientology.

    Of course the Math has not changed, but it is now considered racist.

    Unless you are currently double-vaxed for the plandemics floating around
    and have your masks, you should land in Mexico and cross with the rest.

    Our Government has allowed our food processing plants to burn to the ground
    in the hope of convincing us to eat bugs. So if you are yourselves bugs, no offence.

    The people you see walking around with the plastic devices connected are not disabled - they're called cell-phones. But don't sign up with Verizon or the Bell Telephone groups.

    There are a group of Nigerians that urgently need your bank account numbers, as soon as possible - something about a large inheritance.

    Perhaps the best attitude we can portray is something like the housewife who says "No, don't come over today - the house is an absolute mess and I have not had time to clean it", which would really apply worldwide today.

    NASA hears 'heartbeat' from Voyager 2 after inadvertent blackout

    https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2023/0...a-probe-space/

    NASA's distant Voyager 2 probe has sent a "heartbeat" signal to Earth after mission control mistakenly cut contact, the US space agency said today.

    Launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets and serve as a beacon of humanity to the wider universe, it is currently more than 19.9bn kms (12.3bn miles) from our planet - well beyond the solar system.

    A series of planned commands sent to Voyager 2 on 21 July "inadvertently caused the antenna to point two degrees away from Earth," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said in a recent update.

    This left it unable to transmit data or receive commands to its mission control - a situation that was not expected to be resolved until it was due to conduct an automated re-orientation manoeuvre on 15 October.

    But today, Voyager project manager Suzanne Dodd said the team enlisted the help of the Deep Space Network - an international array of giant radio antennas, plus a few that orbit Earth - in a last-ditch effort to re-establish contact sooner.

    To their surprise, "this was successful in that we see the 'heartbeat' signal from the spacecraft," she said.

    "So we know the spacecraft is alive and operating. This buoyed our spirits."

    The team is "now generating a new command to attempt to point the spacecraft antenna toward Earth," Ms Dodd added, although she said there is only a "low probability" it will work.

    Still, given 15 October is a long way away, NASA will keep trying to send up these commands.

    While JPL built and operates the Voyager spacecraft, the missions are now part of the NASA Heliophysics System Observatory.

    Voyager 2 left the protective magnetic bubble provided by the Sun, called the heliosphere, in December 2018, and is currently traveling through space between stars.

    Before leaving our solar system, it explored Jupiter and Saturn, and became the first and so far only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune.

    Voyager 1 was humankind's first spacecraft to enter the interstellar medium, in 2012, and is currently almost 15 billion miles from Earth.

    Both Voyager spacecraft carry 'Golden Records' - 12-inch, gold-plated copper disks intended to convey the story of our world to extraterrestrials.

    These include a map of our solar system, a piece of uranium that serves as a radioactive clock allowing recipients to date the spaceship's launch, and symbolic instructions that convey how to play the record.

    The contents of the record, selected for NASA by a committee chaired by legendary astronomer Carl Sagan, include encoded images of life on Earth, as well as music and sounds that can be played using an included stylus.

    For now, the Voyagers continue to transmit back scientific data, though their power banks are expected to be eventually depleted, sometime after 2025.

    They will then continue to wander the Milky Way, potentially for eternity, in silence.
