message: Should they consider harddrives; or blu-ray discs, or even hologram -memory? And did they include a dvd player with the capsule; so other earthlings in the future won't necessarilly have to build one?
::Blu-ray?!?
::...
::...idiot.
:Yes that is a good idea... That way they could even reverse engeener DVD-player if they wouldn't understand instructions. On top of all some data, etc. could be buried somewhere in the Earht and KEO would carry the map. sverde1 09:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It’s 2021, and if you want to buy a brand-new MacBook today directly from Apple, it won’t have a disc drive in it. Why can’t they just use some sort of HD-Rosetta-type device with the text on it in itty-bitty writing, and maybe a small magnifying lens of sorts? This whole idea is stupid, and I pray to God that this satellite will never be launched from orbit. EpixAndroid (talk) 21:34, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other forms of media storage (and why not include a media player in capsule)? 

message: Similar to that one major library (not sure what it's called); the KEO capsule can retain a current copy of all of the above 3 projects; not only is there Wikipedia; but the whole archive of the internet. Can someone suggest this??
Also, maybe they could make it so that they could send constant updates (annual updates) of the newest Internet Archive/Wayback Machine to KEO via satellite; so it's constantly being updated, even 50k years from now. Or at the very least; have some way of transfering information back and forth between KEO and earth. Anyone know how to contact KEO about these ideas?
:IA is probably too large, even for their ample storage space.  And constant updates are impossible, and undesirable really -- if humanity is struck by some devastating computer virus in the future, as we surely will be at some point in time, we won't want to transmit that. --130.85.43.2 (talk) 11:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

"It's for KEO!" he shouted as he ran off.  I didn't understand at the time, but it makes sense now.  Anyways, guess I'll get to be cloned in 50,000 years, and you fools will all be dead! --130.85.43.2 (talk) 11:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Panspermia? 

message: As noted on a revision on December 5, 2007 of this article, there said the capsule was going to be launched by 2010. It says that currently on some other Wikipedias and December 31, 2008 being the deadline to write a message. However, the current revision reads it was launched in 2006 and the deadline was December 31, 2006. How is it possible I entered to KEO official website on early 2008 and there it read the deadline did be December 31, 2008. Who's right then? KEO.org or Wikipedia, because the KEO site is now down.--Fluence (talk) 03:01, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The KEO website (the clickable one in this article) says that they will stop collecting messages sometime in 2006. Unfortunately, I didn't read that part and spent two hours writing a 4 page long message because of the statement "will stop collecting on Dec 31/2008" in the article. I'm extremly confused as you are right now. 23:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

text: I've put a link to the official deadline page (last changed on 7 January 2008, set to 2010/2011). The "description" meta tag for the official page remains set to 2006 Dantesoft (talk) 08:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Paying for launch 

message: How in the world did they get "e" and "o" as among the most common sounds? Not only is "a" more frequent or much more frequent in nearly every language which has "e" and "o", but many languages (Arabic, Malay, Quechua, etc.) don't have them at all. At least they got the "k" right. kwami (talk) 20:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  JMP Merger 

message: Apparently the artist "died 12 November 2008" and "After his death, messages began to be collected, and an initial launch date was set for 2001" (??), while other parts of the article say it "was to have been launched in 2003", but the "contribution deadline was originally 31 December 2009". An article from May 2003 says that KEO "will be launched at the end of the year 2005", with messages collected until the end of 2003. Patallurgist (talk) 18:55, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
