视频的开头那段是1977年联合国秘书长，奥地利人，库尔特·瓦尔德海姆，在旅行者一号、二号探测器上搭载的金唱片中记录的以下一段发给外星人的录音：

As the Secretary General of the United Nations, an organizations of the 147 member states who represent almost all of the human inhabitants of the planet earth. I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. We step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship, to teach if we are called upon, to be taught if we are fortunate. We know full well that our planet and all its inhabitants are but a small part of the immense universe that surrounds us and it is with humility and hope that we take this step.
