Cool...I remember this launch...and the gold record it carries with all sorts of recordings, and a sketch of what man and woman looks like scotch taped to one of the inner supports of the craft.
Okay, maybe not scotch tape...but it is there....and someday might tell aliens that we are here...come and get us!

Cool X2
Being a fan of our space program over the years, I remember this also. Don't you guy's watch " Ancient Aliens " ? One of my favorites. With that being said, .... I read this article and happened to read that the batteries should last until 2020 ! Just wondering what kind of batteries they have ? Where I work we are making components for the Chevy Volt batteries. ( You know the ones where the car catches on FIRE ) Seems like NASA has had this tech for about 40 years .....
Regarding the come and get us ( good 1 boondocker ), well any encounter with a superior civilization or species would be bad for mankind. Just look what we do to each other.....
I remember the moon landings , we used to watch in school, then the skylab, when I was young I would send NASA letters, they would send me back posters & info regarding space programs. That's when America was great.... ( JIMO )
Hey I hope they sent along a " turn table " to play that record on.
Just another one of my " Seinfeld " posts.... alot of verbage about nothing. Pretty much what my head is filled with.

A little off topic, but hey, it's my post! I remember the first moon landing. I was 16, my father had just bought a new SS350 Nova and it was mine for the night. I was going to take one of the ummm..."easier (allegedly)" girls from my high school to the drive-in that night to see The Graduate. My mom and dad made me stay home to watch the moon landing. Probably a good idea as I had a little "space exploration" on my mind myself that night!!!
And ezra, here'e one for you...it was The Corral Drive In.

You know if we lived down in Huntsville Alabama, we could read about the on-going space programs every week . I was surprised to find so much info in the local paper.
dcsnomo: what type of news channel ( internet news ? ) do you subscribe to ? when you get these articles ? It is just some kind of website that you visit ?

This one came out of Google news, I think. And now, back to the hard drive project!

I imagine they could modify the extended life spacecraft batteries to power a Chevy Volt.
Might need to raise the Volt vehicle price to about $1 billion though, but with the green government incentive rebate
it would be affordable for all!

maybe this space craft has solar panels to recharge and uses little juice to begin with
