Jimmy Carter who has just passed put a statement on board Voyager 1 to be read by whatever civilisation finally encountered it:
Jimmy Carter
39th President of the United States: 1977 1981
Voyager Spacecraft Statement by the President.
July 29, 1977
This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet Earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.
We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed. Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some--perhaps many--may have inhabited planets and spacefaring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message:
This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.

Thank you all for the very kind and sometimes profound comments. Stardust has been a labour of love for many. I was lucky enough to have a group of amazingly talented people on this journey, which started after the death of a close friend. Making this film has helped me deal with this loss and I hope it will help others trying to make sense of the universe when losing someone close to you. We finished the film in 2013, so it's really amazing to see it find a new audience through DUST. Thank you for this opportunity. For me the film still is very meaningful and maybe even more relevant in light of the current state of the world. Thank you for watching.

Plot and visual sequence makes no logical sense though.
- Why is the Earth shattering like that Gravity doesn't work like that.
- When gold plate closeup is made, it's outside the Voyager. When the closeup happens, the probe is going to the right of the screen. It then begins to rotate, but probe doesn't rotate on that axis
- Why is Voyager probe heading straight into the shattered Earth at the end We launched outwards, not inwards
- There's radiation-like noise in the views, but it continues even when Earth is shown.
I could continue further

Cool visuals, but there's no story to be found here. Also, those are some of the most pretentious subtitles I have ever seen. Subtitles are supposed to contain dialogue or a description of audio cues, not tell me how I'm supposed to be feeling about the music.

I took it to be an eternal cycle with Voyager as the eternal sentinel, watching as Earth destructs, then recombines as a new planet to become Earth once again, then destructed again. Death, birth, death again, all under the watchful eye of Man's creation.

there should be a diagram that points to everything on the disc and exactly what they mean and say. the disc to an alien could be just as puzzling to them to find out where we are, as the mayan symbol language is to us this century from when they carved them.

This was not meant to be a story or a music video, this was meant to be a homage to the work that was brought forth and instigated by Arjan Groot and i think that it is amazing!

70k years for Voyager to reach the nearest star. The gold disc should last millions of years, long after humans are gone. To accumulate that much debris it might take billions

Great story and now if space was actually real and We could get past the firmament it would be believable but God is real and I always have to give him his credit and spread his word

When everything is said and done, when even our planet is long gone,
all that will be left of the human race, is a gold disc flying through the dark of space.

I assume, it is no coincidence that the main image looks like a human eye,
the black planetoid kind of thing being the pupil.
