NASA is asking the public for a message to beam 12 billion miles into space

Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object from Earth is currently coasting 12.9 billion from home.

To commemorate its launch nearly 40 years ago, NASA is asking the public's help in crafting a 60-character message to beam to humanity's most daring explorer.

JOB HUNT:NASA replies to 4th grader's job app calling himself 'Guardian of the Galaxy'

Anyone can post their submission on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google+ or Tumblr using the hashtag "#MessageToVoyager."

NASA's only requirement is that the message be "uplifting." The space agency plans to send the winner's words on Sept. 5, 2017, the 40th anniversary of Voyager 1's launch.
