There is this web-site for people to write a 4 page letter to the people of 50,000 years in the future, the satellite to deliver it is named KEO, go to the link below to write you letter for the future, hurry the letters are due by the end of 2009.
KEO is a project where people from today can write a 4 page letter to be put into a satilite that will orbit the Earth for 50,000 years. Inside the satilite there will be Letters from people of today; A Diamond containing: Sea Water, Soil, Oxygen from todays time, and A drop of Human Blood, with a Sequince of Human Genetic Code, (the letters ATCG) on it as our signiture as a species ; A Contemporary Library of Alexandria; Portraits of Long ago, (pictures of people born in the Third Millenium, (2000 - 2999)); An Astronomical Clock so the people 50,000 years from now will realize that the satilite is 50,000 years old; and A globe of the world today as the outer hull.
If I could be alive when the Satilite lands, I would love to tell people in that time about life then and how we felt about this.
