Voyager Spacecraft Statement
This letter: written July 29, 1977 - serves as a core inspiration behind Smyrna Stewardship
Source: Carter Center
Jimmy Carter
"This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet Earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some--perhaps many--may have inhabited planets and spacefaring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message:This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe."

The statement was placed in a National Aeronautics and Space Administration Voyager spacecraft which launched August 20,1977.
It continues to travel through space to this day.*The statement is recorded in electronic impulses which can be converted into printed words.
