Ever heard about Time Capsule?

Time Capsule Definition from Wikipedia

A time capsule is a historic cache of goods and/or information, usually intended as a method of communication with people in the future. Time capsules are sometimes created and buried during celebrations such as a World Fair, cornerstone laying for a building or other event. They can also be unintended caches such as at Pompeii. The phrase “time capsule” has been in use since about 1937, but the idea is as old as the earliest human civilizations in Mesopotamia.

KEO satellite

The KEO satellite is a satellite time capsule which will be launched in 2009 or 2010 carrying messages and objects of the present earth to humanity 50,000 years from now, when the satellite orbiting earth will return.

Every person is invited to write a message addressed to the future inhabitants and the deadline is now 2008.

Do you want your message to be in that satellite and want your message to be read by the future inhabitants 50,000 years from now? Then what are you waiting for?

Messages can be sent by just logging into this website. The satellite has enough capacity to carry a four-page message from each of the more than six billion inhabitants on the planet. Once the satellite is launched, the messages with personal names removed will be made freely available on the web.

KEO will carry a diamond that encases a drop of human blood and samples of air, water, sea and earth.
