30 years after Voyager launch, time to again ask who we are
2007
Overview
The team chose 116 pictures, everything from the Great Wall of China to Greek fishing boats to Jane Goodall studying chimpanzees. They added 12 minutes of Earth sounds, including rain, a train whistle, and a human heartbeat. They chose 87-1/2 minutes of music as varied as Peruvian panpipes and Chuck Berry's \"Johnny B. Goode.\" Finally, they included greetings in 55 languages and a message from then-president Jimmy Carter: \"We human beings are still divided into nation-states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization. We are closer to becoming, as Carter wrote in 1977, \"a single global civilization.\" But while the Internet has allowed for an unprecedented ability to exchange cultural values and ideas, recent news stories illustrate that we also face ever-widening challenges: Polluted dust plumes from China now dirty the air over Los Angeles and San Francisco; Russia has planted its flag on the seabed of the North Pole; and Sara Lee Corporation has disclosed, in the wake of food safety concerns, that ingredients from more than a dozen countries may go into a loaf of its bread - a practice followed by many large food companies. Barbara Kerley is an award-winning children's book author and a former Peace Corps volunteer. Her latest book is a young adult novel about the Golden Record, called \"Greetings from Planet Earth.\"(c) Copyright 2007. The Christian Science Monitor
