Space Probe Plaque by Dave

In 1971, NSSA (the Nova Scotia Space Agency) launched the Champlain 2 probe, the first spacecraft to enter interplanetary space. In case it was ever intercepted by intelligent aliens, Champlain 2 carried a plaque depicting a trio of Nova Scotians and offering precise directions to Halifax.

A year later, the idea was stolen by Carl Sagan for use on NASA's better-known Pioneer 10 and 11 probes.
