50,000 years later, your words come out?

End of the year 2003, the satellite Keo will be launched into space. Some 50,000 years later it will return to Earth, intact, to offer our faraway, future, distant great grandchildren, a collection of our messages destined for them.

I'll tell them that if they have no money it isn't my fault.

If anyone is going to say anything write that I was too skeptical of an idea of an object to be able to stay in space and return to Earth in ~50,000 and not some other planet in 5 years.

lol... or no ozone layer for that matter :D thats not my fault either... i watch the crap i burn

i severly doubt that it will stay in orbit for 50,000 years. :rolleyes:

Do any of us living now even stop to think/care about our 50,000 year old dead ancestors? No. Nobody will care, and if they did, they're nutty.

The human race will be long extinct by then...there is an asteroid heading for us, it will reach us in 13 years...Bush is eager to puch that red button..

I'm glad it's privately funded. I'll leave it at that.

13 years..hmmm..ill be 29 years old. long enough to hold a job, and learn to hate it. i think i've lived a full happy life then. :D

well, look on the bright side. In 13 years George W. Bush wouldn't be our president.
