The love story behind Nasa's alien mixtape

Available for over a year

In 1977, Ann Druyan was a college dropout in New York when she became involved in a historic Nasa project to create a compilation record, or mixtape, to go aboard the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes. Intended as a message from humanity to aliens of the future, the Voyager Golden Record contains sights and sounds from Earth and is still hurtling through space today, billions of miles away. Ann was in charge of the record's eclectic playlist when she fell in love with the project's director - the renowned planetary scientist, Carl Sagan.
