Kudos to NASA for putting Chuck Berry on it!

Agreed on that point. Did you know Carl Sagan is reputed to have fought long and hard as Chairman of the committee who put together the disc contents to
not have Chuck Berry included on the final disc? And there is a cut by Blind Willie Johnson included, so blues, R&B, and rock are well represented. Also, the depiction of male and female human figures was supposed to be an actual photograph of nude (or for those of you in the Bible Belt, 'nekkid') persons but moral objections were raised by Christian religious groups and silhouettes of human figures were used instead. I wonder, if Voyager were launched today, what would we send up as part of the pacakge representing humanity? Miley 'twerking'?...
