<p>  A stirring piece <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/worldsciencefestival/2010/08/greetings_from_the_people_of_e.php?utm_source=selectfeed&amp;utm_medium=rss">produced</a> by Claire L. Evans for the World Science Festival:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This video montage is a meditation on [the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record">Voyager Golden Record</a>], our loneliness, and the herculean, courageous task of SETI. The now-distant voices &#8212; all of whom make statements of earnest peace, curiosity, and goodwill, our best human attributes &#8212; are paired with images of the night sky from their countries of origin. It seems they are shouting out into the void; indeed, the people on the Golden Record (and perhaps our entire civilization) will be long gone by the time the Voyager probes pass within range of another star system.</p>
