The Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched in 1972 and was designed to leave the solar system and, possibly, encounter other life forms. It carries a plaque showing a pair of human beings, a male and a female, as a way to introduce us to aliens.
Quick. We should send up a new satellite apologizing for our first one which is obviously outdated and offensive. This next plaque should be much larger with a full array of our hundred or so different genders.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
