(I haven't actually used that link, I downloaded the five volumes from different blogs all over the place - this has them all in one place though)

awesome, but perhaps space flight itself is avant-garde, and putting out a beacon for extraterrestrials is WAY avant-garde. and those records they put aboard voyager? most exclusive and unattainable limited-edition ever!
