A question from "The Vixen."
After seeing on TV that the audio contents of the 12" "golden record" that's part of the Voyager I and Voyager II probes are now available to the public, my wife. a.k.a. "The V2 Vixen" asked me a question:
Do the probes have aboard them a device to actually PLAY the record? I've searched on line and I can't find a definite answer. Thanks.

No. But, there's a description of how to create a player etched into the discs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyag...2000-001978.jpg (Not that I understand it.) -- Roger |

The Voyager probes are the reason we haven't been visited by aliens. They have the record, the drawing of a man and a woman and the diagram of our location.
So we sent out a mix tape, nude selfies and directions to our house. No one in their right mind is going to respond to that.

Nope. No nudes on the Voyager disks. (Okay there is a crude photo recorded on one of the disks, but we couldn't have a nude drawing on the disk's surface like Pioneer. Oh, no.) -- Roger |

Thanks for the link. So if I understand it correctly, the stylus to play the record IS provided ("just pay a separate shipping and handling fee")
