KEO

The most common sounds in the human world are k, e, and o. So what are these letters about well a most awesome project is underway, first thought up by the artist Jean-Mark Phillipe, It involves a satellite that was suppose to leave this planet in 2003, but good news for me its delayed until 2011 (to be honest I have my suspicions as to whether it'll ever leave) and the idea is really cool, the satellite will return to earth in 50, 000 years and will hold valuble information about humanity as it is now, and here's the really cool part each of us gets the chance to write 6,000 words and it'll be sent off into space only to return in the hope that our ancestors will be curious, outstanding. One tiny flaw to put this in perspective 50,000 years ago is known to be roughly the dawn of the human age, how different things will be in another 50,000 are unfathomable. Anyway check it out KEO. Enough done, a boring blog, just need some inspiration for the next one.
