The Satellite Voyager's Gold-Record Message, Heading Toward Sirius:

"This is a present from a small and distant world. A token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so that we may live into yours. We hope, some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe."
