I absolutely love the way the movie "Contact" begins with a scene of the earth as our modern day music is being broadcasted into space. As we travel light years out, our radio transmissions get older and older until there is complete silence. After passing through innumerable galaxies, we suddenly hear a little girl back on earth trying to find contacts across the United States from a ham radio, "CQ... CQ, this is W-9 GFO here. Come back."
