I'd like to inform all that among the items contained on the probe that landed on Mars yesterday was a disc containing a copy of Gulliver's Travels. This is the furthest voyage that Gulliver has undertaken, and no doubt a narrative will ensue in due course.

It means that Gulliver's adventures will be available to discerning extra-terrestrials for the next several millenia (assuming they can read 17th-century English, of course).
