KEO - Damn Interesting

[expertno.1]

The KEO satellite is a satellite space time capsule which will be launched in 2009 or 2010 carrying messages from the citizens of present Earth to humanity 50,000 years from now, when the satellite orbiting Earth will return

Messages can be keyed-in on the web, or sent by postal mail.

The satellite has enough capacity to carry a four-page message from each of the more than six billion inhabitants on the planet.

I doubt!when the satellite returns to earth as with the terrorisms and other things which may have destructed entire human population.if at all humans survive after 50000 yrs,they will be living like in 7th century(dont ask me why!guess it).how can they decode?they will be barbarians same as in 7th century!
