Yes quite, in some 40,000 years some very confused beings are
going to be pondering over The Voyager! :)   Hope they figure
out how to play the record.

I wonder what would happen if one day we were to build probes piloted
by an artificial intelligence which met up in deep space with an alien
probe piloted by an ai.   Seems a lot more likely to happen that way
than by two biological crews.
