Leave a message for humanity 50,000 years into the future.
KEO, a satellite time capsule, will be placed into orbit in 2003. Filled with the writings of Earth's inhabitants today.
Leave a message for the future. Say hello to tomorrow's Terrans. Reveal your dreams for society. Describe your emotions regarding today's news. It's all a part of an effort by many people to leave the future a glimpse of life in 2002.
It will contain not only the writings of Earth's inhabitants, but archeological "discoveries" for the people who live in the far-off future. Many pieces of important information will be encapsulated---everything from a diamond capsule containing samples of the oxygen we breathe, the soil we plant in, the water we drink, and a drop of human blood, to digital images of the human species as we exist today, to what we know---images of DNA strands, and a "contemporary Library of Alexandria". All of this, in addition to our messages, will be stored in digital form. Simple diagrams will be added to KEO that will give instructions on how to decode, what will become, an obsolete media format.
