The furthest manmade object is Voyager 1. It has messages for aliens on-board.

In 1977, Voyager 1 and 2 were launched by NASA. Their primary mission was to visit Jupiter and Saturn. 

Voyager 2 continued onto Uranus and Neptune; Voyager 1 has now made its way into interstellar space. 

Voyager 1 is further away from Earth than the distance between the Sun and Pluto. Both crafts carry a golden record on board, which will act like a time-capsule of Earth. It has greetings from Earth as well as different kinds of music. It also has noises of rocket engines, the sea, people talking, animal's sounds and lots of images. All of which sums up the Earth. 

United States President Jimmy Carter said at the time "This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe." These messages have been recorded as electronic impulses which can be translated into written words.

A/N - Anyone who have/want to visit New York, especially the Statue of Liberty?
