"Nevertheless, the vaginal sounds that were sent will have reached Epsilon Eridani in 1996 and Tau Ceti in 1998. It is unclear what sort of reply we should expect."

Yeah, I need a collection of vagina sounds for research purposes. Yes, they have to be ballerinas, and don't skimp on the bare feet pics

Ok, I was going to crack a joke about how this is a response to the vulva slit being removed from the depiction of the nude woman on the Pioneer plaque, but it literally is.

According to the memoirs of Robert S. Kraemer, however, the original design that was presented to NASA headquarters included a line which indicated the woman's vulva,[11] and this line was erased as a condition for approval of the design by John Naugle, former head of NASA's Office of Space Science and the agency's former chief scientist.[11]

There have also been criticisms of the censorship of the female figure's genitals. Scientist and artist Joe Davis protested the depiction with his Poetica Vaginal project wherein he used an MIT radar dish to transmit the recordings of a vaginal detector.[22]

Tau Ceti is only 12 ly away

1998 + 12 = 2010

So they're like 15 years late replying to the pussy call. Either they are too old and slow or they have so much already they're just too busy

So I learned the new word "invaginate" today and will now be using it in all the sexy talk I share with my wife.

Ok, who’s got the recording?

Became concerned

I'd put "hypothetical aliens listening to our radio transmissions won't know what our vaginas sound like" preeeety far down my list of concerns but you do you, king

Oh, I thought they meant the other kind of "sound" and I am like, that's a lot of mass to send interstellar for a joke.

I'm sorry WHAT?

Did they add any context or is the idea that the aliens will figure put what the sound is supposed to mean?
