In 1977, the Voyager 1 spacecraft took the first Golden Record into deep space as a time capsule to communicate information about Earth and its inhabitants to extraterrestrial life. To mark its 50th Anniversary, the HUMANS project is creating a new message for the cosmos. Join us to record your message that will be included in a deep-space broadcast on 5 September 2027.
