Today we can do something new. We can reduce the text to bits (which we cannot see or hear), take this new representation and store it, manipulate it or transmit it, and then later render it on a computer display or a piece of paper.

The probe must carry instruments to collect information and transmit signals back to earth, and those instruments must weigh less than an ounce. There are enough problems here to keep engineers busy for several centuries, but one day a ship like this will...
