The Golden Record

The Golden Record, humanity’s effort to make contact with extra-terrestrials, was sent in 1977. In the video, scientists showed footage of humanity’s beauty and it’s shortcomings. This is the last trace of humanity’s existence on the green and blue planet of the star, named the Sun; Earth. Thousands of years later, Zuri Dubois, a scout for an organization, dubbed “The Federation,” floats alone in a space pod in search of habitable planets and intelligent life. Months after his departure from the Federation’s home-planet, he’s running out of fuel with no hope of being recovered. (This story will be continued at a later date. For now, I’m focusing on my main novel, and this acts as a secondary concept that I will continue; I just need the time.)
