Erläuterung der NASA:
The Pioneer 10 spacecraft, destined to be the first man-made object to escape our solar system, carries this plaque. It is designed to show scientifically educated inhabitants of some other star system-who might intercept it millions of years from now-when Pioneer was launched, from where, and by what kind of beings. The design is engraved into a gold-anodized aluminum plate, 152 by 229 millimeters (6 by 9 inches), attached to the spacecraft’s antenna support struts in a position to help shield it from erosion by interstellar dust.
Tja, man weiss nie, wem man ausserhalb unseres Solarsystems begegnet. Irgendwie abgefahren.
