your birthday.
Greetings from the Pioneers
Pioneer 10 and 11, launched in the early 1970s, were the first spacecraft to travel beyond the solar system. They were also the first to pass through the asteroid belt and fly by Jupiter and Saturn. Each carries a gold anodized plaque with symbolic drawings as a greeting to any extraterrestrial life.
