Miscellaneous / / September 19, 2023
This is for the event of an apocalypse and extinction, and not for aliens.
Arch Mission Foundation plans scatter digital libraries with data about the Earth and its inhabitants throughout the solar system. The first such archive will be sent to the Moon.
The project is called Arch Mission Foundation (AMF). It was invented so that information about the past of earthlings would be available to future generations if something happened to the planet. Apparently, the authors of the idea have no doubt about the survival of individuals under any circumstances.
A digital library is a 120 mm 4 gram disc in a special cartridge consisting of 25 layers. This is 60 thousand pages, readable with an optical zoom of 100 to 200 times.
The discs are made from materials that could theoretically last several billion years because They are resistant to electricity, radiation, high temperature, deep cold and many chemicals substances.
After the pyramids turn to dust, the "Billion Years Archive" will be a gift to the people of the future.

Each DVD layer contains 100 gigabytes of compressed digital data. The archive contains the English-language Wikipedia, the Project Gutenberg book library, information about almost 7,000 languages โโof the world and descriptions of the tricks of David Copperfield, who became one of the sponsors of the project.
The timing of placing digital libraries in the Solar System has not yet been announced. By the way, the Arch Mission Foundation is far from the first archive that humanity launches into space. Back in 1977, a record with music, photographs and greetings in different languages โโwas sent there. And since 2018 in free flight located a Tesla Roadster with an archive in the form of a five-layer disc placed in the glove compartment.
