KEO
KEO is the name of a proposed space time capsule which was to have been launched in 2003 carrying messages from the citizens of present Earth to humanity 50,000 years from now, when it would re-enter Earth's atmosphere. It was later delayed to 2006, then to 2007/2008, then to 2010/2011, then to 2012, then to 2013, followed by 2015.〔(Current estimation of dates )〕 Currently the KEO website cites 2015/16 as its launch, however, no actual date is set and information about its launch is vague.〔 http://www.keo.org/uk/pages/faq.html#q22 〕
The project KEO claims to be supported by UNESCO (who it claims voted it "Project of the 21st century"〔(Letter of Federico Mayor ), General director of UNESCO 1987-1999 (in French)〕), Hutchison Whampoa, the European Space Agency, and among other institutions. Its name represents the three most frequently used sounds common to the most widely spoken languages today, , , and .〔(Official FAQ page )〕
== Personal messages ==
Every person is invited to contribute to the time capsule. The contribution deadline was originally 31 December 2009, but , it has been extended to end of 2014.〔 Messages can be posted via the project's website or sent by postal mail. The organizers encourage everybody to gather messages from children, senior citizens, and the illiterate so that every culture and demographic on Earth is represented. The organization says, "All the messages received, without undergoing any censorship, will be embarked aboard KEO." The satellite has enough capacity to carry a four-page message from each of the more than six billion (as of the original 2009 deadline) inhabitants on the planet. 〔()〕 Once the satellite is launched, the messages will be made freely available on the web.
