Keep Walking

As espaçonaves Voyager e Voyager 2 foram lançadas há cerca de 30 anos (curiosamente, a Voyager 2 foi enviada ANTES).
Uma das coisas que elas tem como função, além de mandar imagens de planetas longíncuos de nosso sistema solar, é a de serem porta-vozes de nossa civilização para uma improvável civilização alienigna que as encontrasse um dia.
Nada mais solitário e nobre. E fútil, mas quem disse que o belo precisa ser útil?

Como "embaixatriz" cada uma delas levavam dentro de si uma placa de ouro com desenhos e musicas de nosso planeta. Segue abaixo, a quem tiver curiosidade, a lista da Voyager I (país de origem, musica, e afins não necessariamente em ordem).
A Voyager I, que deve estar atualmente a uns bons 700 ou 800 minutos luz da Terra, salvo engano cometido por culpa do Alemão, imagino tocando em especial a musica de Blind Willie, da lista abaixo:
