Yikes.
:buggedout:
It seemed like such a good idea at the time...
umm, couldn't the Voyager have a broken transmittion?
33 years ago all my parts were working better than they are now .... :teddyr:
I'm not ruling out the possibility, but I'm skeptical as always. I'd think it's more likely the fact that the probe is 33 years old and hasn't had a tune up since birth.
But the idea is both terrifying an exciting. It begs the question of what kind of aliens we're talking here. Nebula M Spacehunter? District 9 blue collar aliens? Perhaps ET?
Just as long as they aren't these:

Better yet, send another probe emitting the worst music on Earth.
Or would that be looked upon as a declaration of war?
I'm pretty sure that making people (even aliens) listen to Patsy Cline is forbidden in the Geneva Convention :teddyr:

The original probe did include Stravinsky's
The Rites of Spring as one of NASA's greatest hits.
Since it caused violent riots to break out in the audience at its premiere it is sure to fire up the murderous blood of any self-respecting invading aliens. :smile:
I can only imagine an alien nuke coming towards us because the aliens can't get Bad Romance out of their heads. :bluesad:
