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

ljk4-1 that's a nice find, a PIONEER probe together with the VOYAGER laque/Disk wink.gif

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 sad.gif
and replaced by a CD-ROM with signatures of Space enthusiasts and descendants from the Cassini-family!

There is also a disc on Huygens:

ESA's Rosetta comet probe contains a disc from the Long Now Foundation with 1,000
human languages on it for preservation:

--------------------
"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
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
