Summary
The idea of sending a message from mankind was initially brought up by Eric Burgess and Richard Hoagland, leading to Dr. Carl Sagan's enthusiastic involvement in preparing a message for the Pioneer spacecraft. However, the depiction of naked humans on the plaque led to negative reactions and criticism from various groups, prompting adjustments to the artwork.
