To lionise this astonishing accomplishment , and the investigation ’s 40th year in distance , NASA decided to run a playfulness footling competition . They ask for messages from the world , one of which they will choose to radiate up to the probe on September 5 .
The investigation already hold in a prosperous record , fill with sound and simulacrum from Earth , intended to enjoin any extraterrestrial life history ( or succeeding world ) that may find the investigation about life on our planet . The message from this rival will be added to this .
The populace started sending in their messages and , well , you all know where this is break down .
Classic flat - Earth jokes were tell apart .
And Star Wars jest .
People did n’t even apply the full 60 characters available to them .
As well as some questionable entries , there were some bully entries in there too .
There was also a sugared content from the Cassini team .
But mostly , overwhelmingly even , multitude just want to see nude person .
Run , Voyager . Do n’t seem back .
