A VOYAGE FOR THE SOUNDS OF EARTH Record Your Own Audio Time Capsule
RECORD YOUR OWN MESSAGE
In 1977, a NASA committee led by esteemed astrophysicist and author Carl Sagan set out to record images and sounds from around Earth, which were then enshrined in two copper records that included music, languages, and natural sounds from around the world.
