Reply to comment by kjpmi in do we really believe aliens can decode the golden records by Calm-Confidence8429

And, conversely, the odds that an alien specie intelligent enough to intercept and recover it, would then be able to translate it at that point are close to 100%. Sure, maybe they'll need to call their equivalent of Jodie Foster and it would take them some time, if their systems are completely different than ours, but eventually they would almost certainly figure it out.

Exactly. The hard part is recognizing it and intercepting it, not deciphering it.
