I see some of you adding a bit of religious principles to the discussion. Nothing wrong with that, just noticing.
On something completely different, I really love the idea of this piece of art.
Find the details here, but I'm sure you saw that one before. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record A very nice, a very positive approach of thinking and story is attached to it and, if you like, try to decipher the prints on that disk without looking it up of course.
There also was a funny/controversy story in regard to the times when they sent it, perhaps you find it. As a tip, the Pioneer drawing contains it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque
Remember, it was meant to transport the vital things about humanity to another intelligent (assuming humans being intelligent too :D) life form. Now how cool is that? And it's still out there! :o
