The Golden Record (Encore)
In the 1970s NASA embarked on a mission it had never attempted before. Due to a fortunate alignment of planets, they were going to attempt to send robotic probes on a flyby mission to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, before being sent to deep space, out of the solar system.
Some of the mission planners figured if they were going to send a probe all that way, maybe they might as well add something extra to the payload.

The USS Indianapolis
There are tens of millions of stories to come out of World War II. Many of them are tales of horrible human cruelty.
However, there is one particular story that is as horrific as any other, yet it doesn’t involve human barbarity, it involves nature. It was so horrific that it has been the subject of books and movies, and was the inspiration for the film Jaws.
