I'm not sure about this particular one, but some of
our "Space Probes" are definitely nuclear-propulsion
types (headd it on NPR last month ) and they DO have
nice little line drawings of nekkid humans ( smiling
and waving ) and a diagram nack to earth. And a record
of "Johnny B. Good"  by Chuck Berry. No kidding. I
hope they like Berry better than the deadly isotopes
we send them.

All of them, simultaneously. A spiritual 
( attitudinal )  revolution must precede all attempts
to solve humanity's problems if true solutions are to
be found. A rejection of violence, in all its forms,
is prerequisite.
