What would you like the universe to remember about our story on Earth?

Record your message for a once-in-a-generation space broadcast in-person or online.

In 1977 Voyager 1 carried the Golden Record into deep space as a time capsule from Earth. It contained greetings in 55 languages, whale song, laughter, music and instructions on how to play the record for any extraterrestrial civilisation that might find it. Inspired by the Golden Record, HUMANS launched a new record of messages from Earth to the International Space Station in 2023 and the Moon in 2025.

Now it’s your turn. Record a message that will be sent into deep space on 5 September 2027, the 50th anniversary of the Golden Record launch.
