"Life on Earth is exceedingly fragile. Our own living planet will ultimately cease to exist through either natural disaster, cosmic accident, or at our own hands. A digital backup of Earth is now not only possible, but absolutely essential if we are to assure perpetuity for our planet and our species." - Prof. H. Paul Shuch

We may not be around forever; there’s a good chance humanity will perish by some cosmic disaster, or by our own doing. By broadcasting humanity’s ultimate message to the stars, a new form of immortality awaits us all.
