I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going

Sending this out with directions back to earth could end up being the stupidest thing we ever did. I mean what were we thinking. How could you be smart enough to build this thing and not smart enough to understand our own history. 

I have no problem venturing out, but let's not assume the best in life forms we have never met and maybe let's try and be a little stealthy. There may be a very good reason we haven't seen any other life out there.

maybe it's V'ger...

Nino did you read the Three Body Problem Trilogy ?

If not I'll spare you the 1800 pages and just say what you refrenced was the crux of it.

Spaceman - Netflix (2024) with Adam Sandler as aa American cosmonaut venturing for 6 months to check out the "Chopra" , a purple cloud that has lit up Earth's nighttime sky for the past 4 years. Not only does he discover what the Chopra is, he discovers the truth of his own - and all - reality,  with the help of a curious and friendly alien. 

Excellent sci-fi fantasy movie.   

>>>There may be a very good reason we haven't seen any other life out there.

Possibly because we're ignorant, petty, violent, egotistical fucks that no other life forms want anything to do with?  Who says they are the bad guys?

And we probably smell really bad too.

I haven't read Three Body Problem Trilogy I'll put it on the list, but since I don't commute 2 hours a day anymore my reading of books has gone way down. 

ps. there's a pretty good sci fi show on apple. Constellation. It's w/ mike from breaking bad.

The Voyager Golden Record is a phonograph record included in the two Voyager spacecrafts launched in 1977. It contains sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
The record contains image data and etched symbols.
Eleven copies exist — two are onboard the Voyager spacecrafts, one is on display in a museum, eight copies are archived at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Archives, USA.

The release is stored in a protective aluminum jacket with a cartridge and needle. The record was manufactured by James G. Lee Record Processing Center.

The chances of the probes being intercepted by an alien race are fairly remote, especially when one considers it will take over 40,000 years to come within 1.7 light years of the nearest star. By this time this golden record may be only considered a time capsule, a record of a past civilization. The record consists of some 115 images of earth encoded in analogue format at the beginning of the record, after which are greetings in 55 languages, various field recordings of Earth and 90 minutes of music.

The record's cover consists of diagrams showing how to retrieve the data and audio as well as the location of Earth in relation to 14 nearby pulsar stars and the lowest form of a hydrogen atom meant to be a base for retrieving the encoded information. A pure sample of uranium-238 was electroplated on the cover for dating purposes. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.51 billion years.
