KEO - time capsule

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

The KEO satellite is a satellite space time capsule which will be launched in the end of year 2007 or 2008 carrying messages from the citizens of present Earth to humanity 50,000 years from now, when the satellite orbiting Earth will return. This project is supported by UNESCO (who voted it Project of the 21st Century), Hutchison Whampoa and the European Space Agency, among other institutions. Its name represents the 3 most frequently used sounds in common to the most widely spoken languages today, [k], [e] and [o]. [1]

Basically this is a time capsule going up in to space to return in years to come... Every human being on the planet is entitled to 4 pages of A4's worth of text to put in to the capsule..

I havn't done mine yet, but I find it really interesting

What a fantastic idea. I'm going to take part in this without doubt. I wonder if future generations will be able to resist having a look at it earlier. I like how the satellite will contain the information on dvd's and instructions on how to build a dvd player! This kind of thing makes me feel great to be human.

50,000 yrs from now? :blink:
I was thinking something like 100 or 200yrs

In 52006, everyone will either be a cyborg or an encased brain with mechanical arms and legs
Scary stuff

In 52000 years from now I would be surprised if the human race still existed.
