NASA equipped the Voyager 1 space probe with a gold-plated audio-visual disc containing greetings in 55 languages, sounds of Earth, and a curated selection of music designed to introduce humanity to extraterrestrial life. This probe is currently drifting through interstellar space billions of miles away from home, acting as the ultimate unsolicited mixtape hurled into the terrifying void of the cosmos.

We basically tossed a golden frisbee into the cosmic ocean, hoping that whoever finds it will not only spare our planet from destruction but also really vibe with Chuck Berry
