Our contact to the Aliens. The understanding of why songs were chosen and why clips were chosen is important understanding the thought process of the team that put together the record. Scientist had a vote on songs to put in, Carl Sagan had his son say a message and put it in the record. the people that worked together and picked the pieces is helpful in knowing who, why, and where.

Who Helped NASA put Together The Records?
In case anyone was wondering a big help for putting together the Golden Records was Cornell Universities Carl Sagan. He did a huge part in picking out all the songs and photos sent to space. There was major controversy for a few things sent out, one of the major ones was a picture of a naked man and women for purely show other life our anatomy. It ended by settling with a drawing of our anatomies and a blacked out photo of a man and a women. Ann Druyan also was a big part in the selecting process, during the pickings and choosing Druyan and Sagan fell in love and got married and stayed married until he passed.
There are two records, one on Voyager 1 and one on Voyager 2. even though they both went different courses they're outside of our solar system and are on their was to hopefully be found by another life form somewhere in the depths of space.
Cornell University wasn't the only people who got to be a part of making the space record, Pyral S.A of Creteil, France gave us the records in the first place. they were sent to JVC in Boulder, Colorado, and James G. Lee Record Processing Center in Gardena, Colorado before sent to Cornell to be shaped, processed and plated.
