Earth's Doom?

Do you guys know what the Voyager 1 is?  If you didn't click that link and didn't read that entire Wikipedia page like a normal person, then I will give you a quick summary.  It is a space probe that NASA sent up in 1977 that did a flyby of Jupiter and Saturn and took a lot of pictures in the process.  In March, it left our solar system and I find this to be a huge problem for humankind.  Do you know why?  Because it is also carrying the Voyager Golden Record on-board.

You see, the Voyager 1 Golden Record contains all sorts of information about Earth that scientists hope intelligent life finds one day.  Included on the Golden Record are instructions on how to read it, greetings in 54 languages, sounds of random stuff on Earth like frogs and laughter, music from around the world, and pictures of our planet, solar system, animals, and an entire breakdown of the human anatomy.  Yeah, those idiots included a COMPLETE catalog of the human body.  In other words, everything an alien race could possibly want to know about how to destroy the human race.  The Golden Record has pictures of our skeletal and muscular structures, internal organs, and even our DNA.  If you were a hostile race who was technological advanced to travel the cosmos and needed a new planet to invade, but didn't know that planet's inhabitants' weaknesses, wouldn't the Golden Record give you all of that info and more?  On top of the human anatomy info, scientists decided to also provide pictures of the Earth's structure, just in case these aliens wanted to know if our planet provided all of the important resources that they would want to pillage.

Damn it, NASA, what were you thinking?  Sure, you probably thought that other intelligent life would be peaceful and would only want to make contact or something.  But if movies have taught us anything, we all know that that is complete bullshit and they will be attacking our asses using all of the hard to obtain info that we provided them.  So, if an alien kills you in the future with a weapon that can make your heart explode, just remember that some hippy NASA scientists from the 70's are the reason why.

"Yup, as soon as an alien finds that thing, it will have the information it needs to wipe us out.  Thanks a lot, NASA."
