This is a vanity; a whimsy that I came up with tonight.
IF you were going to send a rocket into outer space, that included a little package containing all of the things that YOU wanted to preserve for posterity and communicate to extraterrestrials that might be out there, What would you send?
I thought of a few things; not a complete list by far, and not in any particular order (except for the first four ;-)
1. The Holy Bible - OT, NT, Tanakh
2. The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States of America
3. The Magna Carta
4. The Pledge of Allegiance (including the 'UNDER GOD' part!)
5. All of Shakespeare
6. A video of Ronald Reagan saying "Tear Down This Wall!"
7. Bobby Hatfield singing 'Unchained Melody'
8. Anything that Julia Child or Red Skelton or Victor Borge, did on TV
9. The latest edition of 'The Joy of Cooking'. (In case they want to cook for man, instead of 'Serving Man')
10. A copy of Dickens', 'A Christmas Carol', and videos of all the movies that have been made of the story.
Carry On!

LOL, guess we all are on the same page, of course it did say “What”, not “Who”.
A Telecaster.
Rig up remote destruction of guidance and some other systems to make sure it’s a one way trip. I kind of like this example even though the useless ones survived.

Now that was funny!
Cheers!
If you’d shot her when you first wanted, you’d have been out by now.
A ‘can of peanuts’ containing a spring-loaded snake.
I think you meant “What would you send to aliens”.
There are a lot of things people would send to outer space to be rid of them.
You want to send your wife into Outer Space, AND save her for posterity?

As long as my Tele stays here, I concur your post..!
Obama....on a collision course with the sun.
