The living room. It is very long but pretty narrow. I think most people come away saying the same thing. The place wasn't as big as it looked or what they expected.
No guides anymore, either. Everybody gets an iPad and phones, Do your own damn tour. The new owners have upgraded it into a cash factory. Tourists are the raw material. They run them through the exhibit machinery and out the other end pours money.
Us two were maybe $68 + parking. If you want the whole experience, the price heads up to around $170 per maybe?
Don't forget to stay at the Heartbreak Hotel next door.

As NASA's two Voyager spacecraft travel out into deep space, they carry a small American flag and a Golden Record packed with pictures and sounds — mementos of our home planet. This picture shows John Casani, Voyager project manager in 1977, holding a small Dacron flag that was folded and sewed into the thermal blankets of the Voyager spacecraft before they launched 36 years ago. Below him lie the Golden Record (left) and its cover (right). In the background stands Voyager 2 before it headed to the launch pad. The picture was taken at Cape Canaveral, Fla., on August 4, 1977.

Most people know about the scenes, greetings, music and sounds from Earth found on the Voyager Golden Record. They may not know that there is also a handwritten message etched into the surface of the record. Timothy Ferris, who worked with Carl Sagan and the rest of the team that produced the record, wanted something done directly by a human hand to appear on the record. “To the makers of music – all worlds, all times” appears on the finished record, in between the photoengraved label and the record grooves.
The inscription can also be seen on some of the 14-inch recording masters that are found in the JPL Archives. There are several sets of the records, with a metal core and lacquer surface. From these masters, the copper records (“mothers”) were cut, then they were gold plated, etched, enclosed in aluminum containers and mounted on the sides of the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft.

From my series In Aeternum
On September 12, 2013 NASA confirmed that the Voyager 1 spacecraft became the first man-made object to ever leave the solar system. Onboard the Voyager craft is a 12” diameter gold record (inset) containing sights and sounds of mankind’s history, science, and ambitions in the hopes that someday an alien race will understand a small part of our species.
This was originally a book from 1958 from a series of juvenile science fiction books. You can hear what the record sounds like here...
Songs and stories with Mel Blanc, who, of course, did many voices for the Warner Bros cartoons, and Gilbert Mac who did voices on ASTRO BOY, and Filmations THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN.
