Carl Sagan.
Radio
Many years ago, i began to read the book Contact by Prof Carl Sagan. The story begins with a radio station receiving a binary message from space.
The message takes a long time to decode as it is thousands of what appears to be random figures, but the team finally crack the code and it is a repeat broadcast of the 1936 Olympics from Berlin.
This along with the horror film R-Point from Korea got me thinking when we talk about space litter we think of parts of rockets that fall off, but what about the thousands of radio signals that are sent each day, does anyone in space hear them?
I had the idea of writing a short story along this thene, but who would read it?
