What Would You Send Into Space to Tell the Story of Earth?

Over 35 years ago, NASA launched Voyagers 1 and 2 into space, and with them two records filled with a variety of sounds and images designed to be a crash course in human experience. Today, we want to know what you would want to send into space to tell other civilizations about Earth.

In addition to the standard photos of floral and fauna, greetings in over 55 languages, music, and scientific diagrams, the two Golden Records also verge into the delightfully quirky, with a picture of a man eating a sandwich and a surprisingly long sample of whale songs.

So what would you want to add to the mix? Tell us in the comments below. Pictures too, please!
