The New Horizons probe is carrying a CD-ROM with the names of 434,738 people who participated in a “Send Your Name to Pluto” campaign. It's also carrying a portion of the ashes of Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930.

That "Hello, we existed...!" line really got me somehow. Like, yeah... that's what it'd be, isn't it? "Hello... we existed! Didn't really work out, but - better luck to you guys! You can do it!" What a message to effectively leave behind...

Vsauce inspired so many kids back then, including me, into taking a science career. Truly, Thank you for putting your stuff in youtube and teaching us all.

Honestly though. If an alien civilization is advanced enough to grab a space probe out of the sky then it surely should be advanced enough to decipher some of this

Anyone else randomly remember this after YEARS? Honestly it still holds up as one of the best videos ever put on YouTube.

Every time I think about all the messages and gifts we've sent out into the Universe, I get emotional. I just imagine them traveling for lightyears and lightyears, and maybe one day arriving into the curious arms of an alien civilization who, just like us, always wondered if they were alone. And then I imagine them, excitedly, exhaustedly, trying to decipher what we've written. Decoding the instructions on the record case. Putting the record on, and hearing us. Maybe not knowing exactly what they are about to experience. But then the first sounds come through and it thrills them. Our voices, and our music and our greetings. Despite the language barrier, I can't imagine how beautiful it would be to hear such a thing after dreaming of it for so long. It is a little bittersweet, though. After translating all the information on the items, they sit back, full of wonder and excitement, and yet full of sorrow. Because they know exactly how far away these beings are from them now. They are listening to a time capsule. The thought of this has always made me cry.

The problem with the library of Babel is that since it contains EVERY combination of 3200 characters, the odds of finding a whole page of proper text that actually makes sense is incomprehensibly low. If we sent this library to aliens, they would probably just start trying to translate a random page that consists only of random letters and punctuation marks that don’t actually mean anything.

As a tenager I used to watch these amazing scientific vidoes from Michael - Vsause... Now my Son is watching. He is only 11 yrs old. Continue great master! The science is within us.
