Greg is sitting on the edge of his planet, his feet dangling in empty space. Its axial tilt has straightened up, so the seasons are gone. Gravity feels especially light today, and the wind is strong. Voyager 3 could be here any minute, with a message from mankind on board. The golden chip contains everything important about us: It carries the petrified footprints of our civilization. Except that those who will find it will not necessarily understand the language. What’s your escape velocity? It’s all it takes for you to fly with us.
Did you know that:
1. the Voyager 2 space probe was launched in 1977 from Florida, and Voyager 1 followed 15 days later, from the same spot?
2. the golden record is a time capsule on board Voyager 1 and 2, which carries a message to extraterrestrials about the world we live in?
3. the escape velocity is the threshold speed at which a body overcomes the gravitation of Earth and breaks away from its force field?
4. that the seasons emerged in consequence of the Earth’s revolution around the Sun and its axial tilt?
