What makes them think that if it is found by some advanced civilization that they would be friendly?...........................

The United States is a debtor nation.

So perhaps the message should include: “This project funded with borrowed money.”

I wonder if the question is more existential (though with real life implications) and if AI is able to predict over under odds on such disposition on the possible aliens toward us?

“We’ve packed a lot of thought and inspiration into this plate design, as we have into this mission itself,” said project scientist Robert Pappalardo of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory

"...radiating from a central symbol representing water in American Sign Language"

Oh, brother. No universally understood things like a picture of an H2O molecule. How many ETs know American Sign Language? This sounds like a fully woke plaque.

Compare that nuttiness to the Pioneer 10 & 11 plaques launched in 1972 and 1973...

Or to the Voyager "Golden Record"...

If ‘THEY’ are out there, the THEY are far more advanced than we are.

That is no guarantee that they are a benevolent society.

THEY may be like the Spanish Conquistadores when they first met the Aztecs and Incas..................

Perhaps one of the words for water is an unforgivably deadly insult in the language of whatever finds the plate.

Only two sexes shown on the Pioneer plaque. Didn’t they know anything back then?

Well, at least then we’ll be able to repel an invasion with Super Soakers.

Interesting choice of lyrics

“Bottle of wine,
fruit of the vine.”

who’s the fag pictured on the disc?

whoever made this thing is a total fag. “let’s write a poem on the disc and add a picture of a wine bottle.”

I seem to remember a similar disc back in the 70s having a picture of a man and a woman? This new disc i assume says we have 70 genders?

First reply, probably, will be “Oh, Oh... Earthmen... Scalp’em”
