Does anybody know where replicas of the Pioneer & Voyager plaques are available? Saw these once on eBay offered by a guy in Australia...

If you've got lots of extra cash to burn, you can get a limited signed edition of some of the photographs and artwork created by Jon Lomberg for the Voyager Record:

and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

The book " Murmurs of Earth - The Voyager Interstellar Record " by Carl Sagan did fine for me

Is there a ' copy-right ' issue with the Pioneer plaque image?
( Some firms offer replicas of this plaque and I guess it might be copy-right Carl SAGAN ? ... if NASA there's no problem ? ) |

Not sure if there is, but I'm not going to find out the hard way

Either they got the right probe with the wrong ETI message, or the right

ljk4-1 that's a nice find, a PIONEER probe together with the VOYAGER laque/Disk
Meanwhile I read somewhere that a small team of JPL scientists/engineers planned to add a plaque on the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft ... The project was known as the ' Diamond idea' ... NASA and ESA initially liked the idea but it was cancelled and replaced by a CD-ROM with signatures of Space enthusiasts and descendants from the Cassini-family! |
