Listen now
Description
In this episode, we talked to team members from the International Space University's Space Studies Program about their project Eternal Echo, an assignment to design a durable and decipherable message for an intelligent species elsewhere in the cosmos. The project is an updated version of the Golden Record, a gold-plated copper disk of sounds and images created by Carl Sagan, Frank Drake, Ann Druyan, Timothy Ferris, Jon Lomberg and Linda Salzman and affixed to both Voyager spacecrafts launched in 1977. We talked to team members Eanna Doyle, Guillaume Dieppedalle, and Paul Stewart about the task of Messaging Extra Terrestrial Life (METI), the future of humanity, and the need for open access science to improve life on Earth now.
