Actually, I haven't played GTA in forever. but whatever.

I'll think of more ****.
 
Up, up and away!

Our names are immortalised in history - at least until it crashes anyway... The rocket/probe/space thingy has been launched and is on it's way. A few days late after delays for high-winds, but what's a couple of days in a multi-year journey?

Well, there's no going back now. :nervous:

Though it is the fastest spacecraft ever launched, capable of reaching 36,000 mph, it will take 9 1/2 years to reach Pluto and the frozen, sunless reaches of the solar system.

It's getting a 'slingshot' off of Jupiter which will make it the fastest thing man has ever created... :crazy:
 
Astonishingly, current spacecraft engine technology means that we could launch a probe to chase Voyager, the most remote man-made object ever, which would catch AND pass it within 15 years. Voyager would have been travelling for 43 years at that point - and would be about 50% further away that it is now.

Edit: Reading more about New Horizons... Bloody hell. It passed outside lunar orbit less than TEN HOURS post-launch. That's an average speed of about 24,000mph.

Actually, chances are they probably won't even be able to read it, at all. The Latin alphabet has existed for less than 3,000 years – we'll undoubtedly have a different alphabet in 50,000. I mean, 50,000 years ago, our language was probably "grunt 'n' point".

Yeah, but they'll still have the Encyclopedia Galactica to read Galactic Standard.

They'll also have "Smell index finger".
 
KEO satellite program is more useful and you can send a 6000 letter message to your grand greatchildren. It's a satellite containing all the inportant bits of todays culture, and some samples from earth air and water. It will be sent to orbit and it's supposed to land 50 000 years later, offering some information for next generations. If i remember correctly they'll be using DVD's made of glass, complete with instructions for building up a DVD player. For more information please visit

And leave your message in history :)
