KEO - I'll be back
KEO - I'll be back. In 2003, KEO will be launched. The satellite will contain the usual collection of artifacts and a CD containing messages from anyone who cares to participate. KEO will be sent on a path which will bring it back to Earth after 50.000 years. Even though a manual explaining the CD will be included, I doubt that anyone will be here then to read it - let alone be able to. Why didn't they schedule a return in say 300 years? That would be more interesting and "doable" I reckon. Anyway - the message has to be: "Mostly harmless". I wonder how many times that one will be submitted.
