Embarrassing - There are some days where I'm legitimately embarrassed to be human. I look around and I think forget about getting off the planet and becoming multiplanetary, we couldn't even get ourselves out of a paper fucking bag. If there are other life forms out there we are no doubt the laughing stock of the universe. #

Preserving humanity forever, in space and on Earth - Ever wondered how you would go about preserving your writting for really long time periods. This is the article you are looking for, describing a microfiche style technology, etched onto nickel plates, that can last for thousands of years in harsh environments such as outer space or the surface of the moon. Example: "20 x 20 mm nickel Nanofiche sheet can hold up to 8,000 pages of text rendered at 150 dpi". Also supports images in greyscale. Predicted to last 10000 years on earth, 50 million years on the moon and billions of years in space. It would be pretty darn cool to have this as a possible render target for my website. Can't find any price information though, so I bet it's quite pricey. www.archmission.org #
