I imagined what it would be like if the Voyager 1 and 2 message had been transported into space not on a vinyl record, but on a cassette tape. It would certainly break more quickly, but I think it would have more style.
Cool Idea! Maybe an additional Walkman should have been delivered (with long lasting batteries). Everytime I see this picture of the woman and the man I can’t help but imagine the aliens wonder if only male humans have genitals, because Nasa censored it.
The originals were formatted like vinyl records, but were actually copper discs plated with nickel and gold. A bit more permanent that mere vinyl (or magenetic cassette tape).
