    There is some strange comfort in knowing that Jimmy Carter's message of decency and outreach will survive a billion years in the future and perhaps even find a reader.https://twitter.com/bstautberg/status/1522046427400220677 …

    In addition to the included gallery of pictures themselves being super cool (as they were designed to communicate our scientific and cultural knowledge in a way that might be decipherable), Jimmy Carter’s message in it is one of my favorite pieces of writing: pic.twitter.com/aQUjEkBdZN

        It is a beautiful little statement, Carter could be a really poignant writer and speaker at times.

        We didn't deserve Jimmy Carter in 1977 and we haven't improved.

        It really says something that the other message on Voyager bears the voice of a Nazi war criminal.

        He was the poet-president. He has published books of poetry. He may be one of the most prolific writing presidents despite and because of him also having an atypically long, lucid post- presidential life.

        it's tragic that the Beatles weren't included on the Voyager disc because of petty rights disputes

        I dunno. “Vast and awesome universe”. That sounds like liberal, Anthony Kennedy-style living Constitutionalism. Very dangerous to send that to aliens.
