Leaving the solar system, he says, will be "a milestone in human activity." Both Voyagers will likely outlive Earth, he notes. When, billions of years from now, the sun swells into a red giant, the Voyagers, albeit with their radioactive generators long exhausted and instruments frozen, will continue to wend their lonely ways through interstellar space and remain on course for the unknown, bearing a record disk and images of 20th-century Earth, music from many of its cultures, and greetings in dozens of its languages. They may be the only evidence the human race ever existed.

Exactly. Besides, multiple races are already here, right?

RIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTT! and I've got a deed right here to this lovely little bridge in Brooklyn! I'd be happy to sell it to you right now!

If they did detect our primitive analog signals, hopefully they can't triangulate where they origninate from, but the v's have a damn roadmap in them.
