Tyson mentions the golden record that is attached to the side of Voyager 2. That record includes music, voices, and other sounds that represent Earth and its occupants. Imagine that you are able to choose a sound to add to that record. What sound would it be? Write an argumentative essay in which you state and defend your choice. Follow these steps as you write:

1. Clearly state your position, or claim, in an introductory paragraph. This should include both your choice of a sound and a broad reason for it.
2. In the body of the essay, provide specific reasons for your choice, and support them with evidence from Tyson’s essay, your own observations, or another source.
3. Organize your reasons and evidence logically. Use transitional words and phrases, such as because, instead, and after, to clarify the relationships between your claims, your reasons, and the supporting evidence.
4. Conclude with a strong closing statement that follows from and supports your argument.
5. This essay requires you to think of evidence and reasoning from your own thoughts and experiences. However, you should find relevant evidence and reasoning from sources other than just your own experiences. While writing, take some time to complete online searches as needed to support your thinking. When you finish, reread your essay to revise any ideas. You need only write the first draft, but make sure to do your best with spelling and grammar. Your completed essay should be 2–3 paragraph

Answer:

Pioneers 10 and 11, which preceded Voyager, both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant future. With this example before them, NASA placed a more ambitious message aboard Voyager 1 and 2, a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record, a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
