Jimmy Carter’s note in Voyager:
“This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human being among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet Earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.
We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some – perhaps many – may have inhabited planet and spacefaring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message:
“This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problem we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.” ✨
@CalltoActivism Historian Michael Beschloss praised it as one of the greatest marriages in American history, not just for its length but for their closeness.
Jimmy Carter, former US president who was committed to human rights, has died. He was 100 years old.
Carter set a powerful example for world leaders to make human rights a priority, and he continued to fight for human rights after he left office.
X-iting shortly. I am over on Blue Sky @afairch.bsky.social and hope to stay in contact with many of you. Been here since 2009 but time to leave to better shores.
