Borghese uses math to explain her trouble :
[ I]t was 30 yr ago today ( or so ) that NASA sent a different dedication to our sound exotic friends everlastingly in the frame of a gold - plate , atomic number 29 12 - inch long - playing record album , which was supplement to the Voyager 1 ballistic capsule … The Beatles song is shooting straight toward the North Star , 431 light-colored - years out , at 186,000 miles per bit . The Voyager “ album , ” however , wo n’t “ drop ” on Planet X until the yr — well , whatever year it will be when it gets there at a rate of only 38,000 mil per HOUR ! Even with its considerable head startle , this gold - plot tortoise wo n’t make it until well after that little warp - stop number iTune out of Abbey Road Studios .
What will disaffect make of our plain switch from the Fabs to Voyager 1 ’s mixture of Chuck Berry , Bach and Beethoven , she wonders ? Will they wonder if moptops were interchange by small-grained wig and if vinyl group records are superior to digital recordings ? Are we accidentally creating an image of mankind as a race of multitude who read Rolling Stone and relax with a little chamber music of an eve ?
Obviously , there ’s only one thing for it : We have to institutionalise Fall - Out Boy into the stars in suspend animation on a very , very sluggish starship . It may not win over alien that our musical taste has improved , but any fashion to remove the world of even one emo set should be embraced as tightly as possible.[Courant.com ]
