http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KEO

The KEO satellite is a satellite space time capsule which will be launched in the end of year 2007 or 2008 carrying messages from the citizens of present Earth to humanity 50,000 years from now, when the satellite orbiting Earth will return. This project is supported by UNESCO (who voted it Project of the 21st Century), Hutchison Whampoa and the European Space Agency, among other institutions.

Every person is invited to write a message addressed to the future inhabitants — the deadline is December 31, 2006. Messages can be keyed-in on the web, or sent by postal mail. The organisers encourage everybody to gather messages from children, senior citizens and the illiterate so that every culture and demographic on Earth is represented. The satellite has enough capacity to carry a four-page message from each of the more than six billion inhabitants on the planet. Once the satellite is launched, the messages with personal names removed will be made freely available on the web.

KEO will also carry a diamond that encases a drop of human blood and samples of air, sea water and earth. The DNA of the human genome will be engraved on one of the faces. The satellite will also carry an astronomical clock that shows current rotation rates of several pulsars; photographs of people of all cultures; and "the contemporary Library of Alexandria", an encyclopaedic compendium of current human knowledge.

So, SEND YOUR MESSAGES AWAY!

Wow!... I'm doing it

In the 60s there was a Blue Peter time capsule, they dug it up a few years ago, but the capsule had been breached, and water got in, and ruined everything.

Thanks Ice thanks to you we can all write a message

I think leaving it for 50,00 years is a bit too long. It's too likely that we won't still be here to read it or we will have 'forgotten' about it and will just go to waste. Oh, and hardly anyone will be able to read English or whatever languages the messages have been written in.
That said, it would still be very cool, and I'm gonna write something just incase

Should be more like... 1,000 years, I think.

patchou should submit a copy of the current Plus! live version, so in 50,000 years they can see what the original plus! live looks like, because we all know plus will always be alive

I'm going into grade nine at a highschool(grades 9 -12) near my house(where people live. School(where people learn) is sooo hard for me because I'm lazy and don't like to do work and I don't like waking up early in the morning. The world today has lots of different cultures and languages of people.(I doubt there will be white people speaking english when someone reads this(other than on the MsgPlus! forums where I will show other people what I wrote here when I'm done) because it seems today black people are taking over everything(no offense) and we shgare our sports and stuff even though its fair because we stole their land... but I still think they should go to school and learn enough to invent their own cool sport that we can take over and I don't think that it will be long before they totally take over and start killing all the white/yellow/orange/green people until its just them left standing, and then they will by then decided to speak one language throughout the whole world(we today are gay and stupid and don't do this... it would make things easier) and it wont be english so I doubt you will be able to read this and if it is english you guys will probably forget about this and not get it or it will land on earth and you'll all be like WTF MATE in whatever language you speak and then open it and be like WTF mate again... and if this doesn't happen (HOPEFULLY) by the time this should be opened you guys will live on a totally different planet way far away...well I think I'm done btching and moaning about how the world sucks today and how I hope you change it or ditch it and move to a new planet and take pictures of us loving white people and want to be like us because it will be a hell of alot hotter on that planet and you will paint yourselves white to be cool and it will become a new trend and then everyone will be white on the outside but black on the inside(LIKE MICHEAL JACKSON) I hope you guys always remmeber him and keep pictures of him around... but I doubt it because elvis was popular and hes like forgotten already enless your some elvis fanatic and totally obsessed.. and incase you don't know who elvis is he was a very famous singer like 30 years ago from now(the year 2006) and I also hope you get this letter because its  fuckign annoying to type this whole thing when I really am doubting this being read in over 50 000 years... and my finger is getting really really sore so I'm going to post this at home(msgplus forums!) and see what everyone else has to say about my utter boringness and since I use ( and ) alot I think I might have opened too many and not closed them so I'll add a couple extras right away btu I'm writing until I wrote 3000 characters.. well its more than 3000 now so bye and )

I copied a bunch of first sections of wikipedia articles, but now i realize I probably should have submitted DeCSS in several languages

Tis cool but i don't have a fuxing clue what to write.

Maybe we should screw with them and say stuff like "I was president of <insert country here>." And make yourself sound really good.

Maybe input my current computer specs

I wrote this...

First class, yo this is bad, Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass Is this what the people of bel-air livin like, Hmm this might be alright! I whistled for a cab and when it came near the Licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air. I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later, Looked at my kingdom I was finally there. To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air

To whoever or whatever is living on Earth now. On behalf of most of the humans currently on Earth, we're sorry for using up all the oil on Earth and poluting Earth so badly that you will probably be living in some prolonged ice-age or something similar and barely surviving. Otherwise, I think this message will be read by no-one because you have all left Earth thanks to us destroying it for you. I hope Mars is a nice place to live on.

If time machines exist while you are reading this then please come back to the the 22nd of August 2006 at 15:00 to a place called Vlodrop in The Netherlands and show me, because I don't believe that time machines could ever exist. If you don't come then that either means that this message never reached anyone, time machines don't exist around the year 50'000 or you're just too lazy.

If a robot is reading this and robots rule the Earth and have killed off all humans then damn you! How could you kill off your creators? Well, easily, you're robots. But you still suck.

If Earth is a nice place to live on and everyone is happy then congratulations. Have a nice life, whoever is reading this, and try looking me up in historical records to see what I have accomplished in life. (Since I don't know yet as I am currently only 21 years of age.)

Hmm, I just can't imagain, in hundreds, and thousands of years to come, people are going to be looking at the history of, well, now.

I wonder what religion will be like in 50,000 years. People will probely bow down to The Mighty Robot God and believe he controls ALLLL.

I think they should leave some documents or something with information about the satellite, maybe down through the government or something(although i wouldn't trust the government ¬¬) so that when it is 50,000 years from now they know what is coming. Otherwise they could think it was a bomb/disease from a rival planet(if they have them) or debate whether they should open it up and stuff. If they know about it then they won't be scared or anything.

I just though though if you tell them they might go out looking for it. :\

lol thats a great idea but i dont need to worry about that i plan to be alive around that time
