    Default Your message to the future

    There is a satillite being sent up in 2007 called KEO, it will land back on earth in 50,000 years. You can go to http://www.keo.org/uk/pages/message.php To write your own message to the future!! I think it's a pretty cool idea.
    What will your message to the future be? You can read more about KEO on the website, they ar eputting samples of earth.water.air and human blood in the middle of the satillite. Also pictures of all the different cultures in the world.

    I do wonder if the earth will even last that long or even humanity...i mean 50,000 years is pretty long....seeing the effects of global warming and other stuff...but i guess it would be intresting when sending a message to the future...hopeing that when it dose land that the remaining humens don't blow it up thinking its sum sort of missile or anything...

    My message is going to be:

    Sorry for ****ing everything up.

    As for the, "what if they don't speak english" question, even if (and it's likely) English goes the way of latin or sandskrit, I'm sure there will be scholars who speak it, or at least the means to translate it.

    I wrote a serious letter.

    "Hello future Earth inhabitants. I hope the planet is doing well in your time. I am typing this letter in the year 2006. I live in the state of Texas, which may be different in your time, but as of now it is nice. I hope you will know the mathematical formula used to determine the area inside a pentadodechahedron, for it could be very useful. Hopfully you have increased in knoweldge and technology, unlike the people in "The Time Machine," for that would be most unfortunate, but perhaps I can give you some insight on what the world is like in my present time. Technology is the thing, most everyone has a computer and internet access. The world is supposedly in danger of "global warming" but I think it's just a hoax, for a few years ago, scientists we're predicting "global cooling." *Laughs* We have not yet been able to journey to other planets, but in your time you may have. I hope it is interesting, and that you have spaceship technology. Perhaps even hyperdrive technology. I much like science fiction. My favorite show is Stargate SG-1, which uses space travel frequently. You may have even created your own Stargate by the time you read this. I wonder if there are still books in your time, or if everything is digital, or if you can even read at all. For if there are no more books, that is a shame, nothing is better than the feel of a good tome in your hands. It is much preferable to reading a digital book on the computer, or listening to it on a recording device. Well, I cannot think of much more to write to you, future people, Farewell.

    -Austin aka Cloud13

    P.S. If you have computers still, and if it is no longer around, please create Onrpg.com for it is the greatest website on the internet in our time, and I have the pleasure to work there. And if it is around, you should go to it. Onrpg for the win!"

    My cute lil' letter:

    I wonder what new music there is or if even music exists. My fave is Eminem, India.Arie, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliot.
    I bet those are the old classics.

    I wonder if kids are aloud to do more things.

    Did the world become fat? Cause McDonalds now made a lot of money and they make burgers with cow eyes and glue. I don't really like McDonalds so I'm safe.

    Did you here about the Iraq war. That was the biggest war we had so far of deaths. Over 200,000 people still counting.

    How's the video games coming out now? On a PS100? Did they make virtual reality yet?

    I wonder who's president. Now we have a ******ed president named Bush. He gave the middle finger to the news once.

    Impossible, unless it was pulled by something, or it had a jet on it to pull it out of Orbit.

    I wrote some random gibberish, then I wrote a message.
