| Voyager 1 |
We wanted to believe.
We wanted to call out.
On August 20th and September 5th, 1977, two spacecraft were launched from the Kennedy Space Flight Center, Florida. They were called Voyager.
Each one carries a message: I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. We step out of our solar system into the universe, seeking only peace, to teach...
A gold-plated record depicting images, music and sounds of our planet, arranged so that it may be understood if ever intercepted by a technologically mature extraterrestrial civilization.
Thirteen years after its launch, Voyager One passed the orbital plane of Neptune and essentially leaving our solar system. Within that time, there were no further messages sent. Nor are any planned.

We wanted to listen.
On October 12th, 1992, NASA initiated the high-resolution microwave survey.
A decade long-search by radio telescope, scanning ten million frequencies for any transmission by extraterrestrial intelligence.
Less than one year later, first-term Nevada Senator Richard Bryan successfully championed an amendment which terminated the project.
We are building our future in peace and harmony.
We won't wander alone through outer space.
