Greatest Accomplishment of Humanity

Money quote: "With absolutely no attempt at hyperbole at all, it is fair to say that this is one of--if not the--biggest achievement of the human race.
"For, as we speak, an object conceived in the human mind, and built by our tools, and launched from our planet, is sailing out of the further depths of our solar system--and will be the first object made by man to sail out into interstellar space."



This is, of course, Voyager 1, at the heliosphere. This is one of the songs on the record that is being sent out into the vast unknown, "Dark Was the Night" by Blind Willie Johnson.
