KEO: A message for the Far Future

[Lazurkri]

Recently in my browsing of the Web, I came across a project called KEO. Long story short, it intends to launch a short of "Time Capsule" into space that is not supposed to come back down for at least fifty thousand (50,000) years, and consists of, among other things, text messages from people.

It allows for anyone to input up to 6000 characters of text, and can be anything, from rants about world politics to poems to observations about the weather. Anything goes, and nothing is censored.

I found it incredibly interesting; after all, who doesn't want to leave a message that your descendants of 50,000 years from now will read?

It lost much credibility to me by classing 'American' as a language.
It's more of a dialect, really. *Picky*

But yeah, seems like a cool idea.

That's cool, I sent one...

I hope it makes a change cat_xp

I sent one. I was originally going to try and give a basic rundown of the average life of a person, and maybe mention some books, songs and other forms of art that, but that time, could end up being lost completely. Ended up going with something a lot different and much more serious.

Took me a while to do, but I finally sent my message off to KEO; its mostly about the world as it was from 2000 to now, and my hopes that Humanity is still around in some form when KEO reenters earths atmosphere.
