I wish they had made a quality poster of the golden record.

Or a vinyl reprint for hipsters? (Edit: this comment got severely downvoted, but I'm actually serious -- I think a reprint of the record would be a nice product considering the resurgence of record players.)

  Damn, I guess I'm a hipster then since I'm on the kickstarter for the repress: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ozmarecords/voyager-golden-record-40th-anniversary-edition https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ozmarecords/voyager-gol...

    Oh, the reprint already exists, very nice! There's nothing wrong with being a hipster. I meant it as an affectionate term for people (like myself) who buy retro stuff at silly prices. I might get the Golden Record too.

    Damn, that is some pure... Kickstarter. You have to poke around a minute or two to figure out that basically, getting the record on vinyl and not a bunch of related kipple costs a hundred bucks. It's a cool idea but it's too bad about the cost.

      It wasn't just the record (3 pieces of fully remastered vinyl at that), it also came with: - Lithograph of Voyager Golden Record cover diagram, gold metallic ink on archival paper - a Voyager trajectories turntable slipmat - a hard cover book containing all images included on the original Voyager Interstellar Record, gallery of images transmitted back from the Voyager probes, and a new essay by Timothy Ferris, producer of the original golden record - Voyager Golden Record diagram pin

        It would be fun to get a copy of the record that flew and no kipple, for a reasonable price. That's all I meant.

        Depending on your definition of reasonable price; http://www.ozmarecords.com/shop http://www.ozmarecords.com/shop (trivia: the replica is on 3 discs as the original was 16⅔rpm)

    Thank you for this. Or I hate you. Not sure. Just another thing I want to spend money on now. I already wanted the LEGO Saturn V.... https://shop.lego.com/en-CA/LEGO-NASA-Apollo-Saturn-V-21309 https://shop.lego.com/en-CA/LEGO-NASA-Apollo-Saturn-V-21309
