The KEO is a satellite space time capsule which will be launched in the end of year 2007 or 2008 carrying messages from the citizens of present Earth to humanity 50,000 years from now, when the satellite orbiting Earth will return. This project is supported by UNESCO (who voted it Project of the 21st Century), Hutchison Whampoa and the European Space Agency, among other institutions. Its name represents the 3 most frequently used sounds in common to the most widely spoken languages today, [k], [e] and [o].

I posted a message a while ago already. And I also sent a mail suggesting that the exercise should be duplicated, or even be triplicated. This because there is always bad old Murphy's Law, which would direct that, in the event of humanity being severely disturbed by an asteroid, the KEO-satellite will happen to be exactly at a position on the path of the asteroid.

I am trying to think what could be wrong or funny about me mentioning 'triplicate'. I am curious to know what you mean; I like a good laugh, even if I am the subject.<br /><br />Come to think of it, this thread has just been started, and already there is some confusion. One could wonder how our messages are going to be received some 50000 years hence. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br />

An irony would be if the last couple to survive on earth 50000 years from now look to the sky and see a time capsule bearing down on them.
