Perhaps that's one way to get my title changed to "A Small Influence on the Moon"

Now, where's my space suit?

You guys ever heard of the Voyager Golden Record?

It's a collection of pictures/sounds/languages/music from earth..intended for any aliens that might come upon the two Voyager spacecraft (launched in the 70s) that has already left the solar system and is still functioning.

Yes, but that's huge and well documented and known by all. This is quite intriguing.

About that, I can only imagine what would happen depending on who finds it.

For example:
If some scientist finds it, he'd definitely store it as a discovery and research more about these " U-mahns" and their strange behaviour.

BUT:
If a priest finds it, he'd show it to the world as a sign from their divinity.
If an idiot finds it, he will show it to his supersiors and ask what it was. The superiors would not be able to tell what the strange thing was and would throw it away.

If a vacuum salesman found it, he would sell the video to a movie production company and earn millions of dollars from the entertainment industry.

If an emo ET kid finds it, he'd take it as a sign and kill himself.

If a pyromaniac finds it, he will burn it.

If an ET suffering from ADD finds it, he'll forget it ever happened.

If an old lady finds it, she'll throw it away. "Damn kids and their pop culture!!"

If a caveman finds it, he'll hit it with a club, stomp on it, stick it with a knife and try to bite it, but would ultimately abandon it as it isn't food.

If a carnivore finds it, he'll go: "Hellooooo, breakfast!!"

If cylons find it, we're all doomed.

And if a couple of crackhead hippies find it, they'd keep it in their private collection and pull it out every time they wanna get high. "Dude, gnarly! This is some gooouuuuuuuuuuddd shittt!"

Add, please add your own, my inspiration is in downfall.
