h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Think hard:
We have to send a #messagetoVoyager
It can only be 60 characters or less,
and it should be good!
Deadline is midnight PDT tonight (on August 15th, that's 8 am tomorrow August the 16th London time)
NASA are going to pick the best ones to transmit to Voyager as it leaves the solar system in September
Let's send something good for h2g2 - make suggestions!


Milla

Come tell us about your place, for our Guide to the Galaxy
(58 characters).


Wouldn't it be cool if we could recruit some actual alien Researchers ?

Greetings from Earth, come visit, we're mostly harmless!

We come in peace (Shoot to kill)


In fact, any lyric from Star Trekking would do.

Sounds good but can we ignore Vogon poetry?

Maybe we should let the leader of the free world end it:


Aliens welcome! But not in our country! MAKE AMERICA SAFE!

or rather "send it"

Nah, Icy, you got it right first time, I think.

Earth: Mostly Harmless. Add your review: h2g2.com

Milla wanted me to share mine - this is what I sent to NASA from my own Twitter account:

'You are the voice for all of us, our call across the void.'

I got the impression they were looking for inspirational...

But most of what was on Twitter last night was silly...

"any lyric from Star Trekking would do." [Icy North]

You've opened a with that one

It's life, Jim, but not as we know, not as we know it, not as we know it. it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Jim.

Or
Boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse.

Trust you to be sensible, Dmitri.

Actually, yours is really rather good. It sounds like the first line of a poem or hymn.

Thanks, Icy. Now I'll have to write the poem.

The second line could be:

'We fly the flag for Marvin, the paranoid android'

"Go boldly where humankind has not yet gone, Voyager"

It does trek the stars, doesn't it?

#Don't panic.

PP.

of course... that's a good one pp.

also: why am I still not asleep? it is past midnight and there's work tomorrow.

Thanks for all your suggestions!

Here's what we sent:

Wow! I'll get the kettle on and my foil hat ready!
