The message is picked up by this huge computer on Earth which proceeds to take over the world and restructure society to accord with the outer-space radio message...
...other side (see diagram). Thin plastic tubes are then threaded through the needles (which are subsequently removed) and anchored in place by small plastic buttons at either end. The iridium-in the form of tiny "seeds" embedded in a thin, stiff nylon ribbon -is inserted into the tubes.

It reminds one of a magnified living cell with segments of the outer wall cut away to show the inner workings, in all their complex relationships...
