THAT 70'S PROBE

So here it is, the year 2006, and Voyagers I and II, launched over 30 years ago and now making their way into interstellar space, are still carrying "The Sounds Of Earth"...on phonograph records. How charmingly retro. (At least it wasn't 8-track tape!)

I wonder...did they think to put an iPod on the New Horizons probe to Pluto?
