Kinja'd!!!

NASA did up some posters celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Voyager spacecraft (Voyager 1 launched September 5, 1977). I’m digging this K-Tel themed one. There is actually a gold record containing images, music, mounted to Voyager (one side of it is shown on the bottom of the poster) in case someone from another civilization finds the spacecraft - or crashes into it with their flying saucer. The golden record’s contents were selected for NASA by a committee run by Carl Sagan. You can check out the contents at JPL’s site or at Wikipedia .

Here’s the other posters in the series (all are available as super high res PDFs or TIFs for poster size reproduction):

Fucking love the second and third you included.

Two is all “My God, it’s full of stars.” Three is just superb.

I really like the other two as well, especially the second one - though the third has that wonderful mid-60s travel poster vibe.

Nasa should probably just skip Voyager 6 when the time comes...
