Pioneer 10/11 have a controversial plack design by Carl Sagan's second
wife showing a pair of naked humans and a crude star map of our galatic
position.  My favorite space-political cartoon by Paul Conrad has two clothed
aliens looking on saying: The people of earth are just like us, except
they're not clothed."

Voyagers 1/2 have record "Sounds of the Planet Earth" which was mentioned
in Star Trek I and Starman with digitized pictures and sounds of earth
as well a map, and a design to build a 'player.'  This was designed by Carl
and his then to be third wife and some one else.  A book was published
entitled
Murmers of Earth, I believe.
