[VIDEO] The Music We Have Sent Aliens On Board A Space Shuttle!

2^min

One day, probably billions of years from now, aliens might be astonished to run across an old spaceship from Earth.

Far away from home, the ancient probe is cold, but still capable of "speaking" to its finders, for on board is a collection of treasures sent aeons ago.

Of course we speak of the Golden Record that was compiled by NASA with the help of renowned cosmologist Carl Sagan to board the Voyager shuttles alongside other Earth related material.

Voyager 1 and 2, like Pioneer 10 and 11 before them, would fly by the gas giants and, after data-taking, slingshot out of the solar system. Those spacecraft were to become interstellar ambassadors.

What's on this Golden Record you ask? Well only the finest music produced by mankind as a show of our better nature.

Without further ado, here are a few of our personal favorite pieces of music that were blasted into space on board the Voyager!

Australia, Aborigine songs, "Morning Star" and "Devil Bird," recorded by Sandra LeBrun Holmes

Japan, shakuhachi, "Tsuru No Sugomori" ("Crane's Nest,") performed by Goro Yamaguchi

Georgian S.S.R., chorus, "Tchakrulo," collected by Radio Moscow

Beethoven, String Quartet No. 13 in B flat, Opus 130, Cavatina, performed by Budapest String Quartet

And Finally here's the full record! Enjoy!
