Hello Steemians, 

Is it possible to store all human historical, cultural and some other things into one of the safest places for future use? This post is exactly about the given concerned topic.

A 30-million page library of human history is on its way. We May Soon See A Library On The Moon Thanks To Space Nonprofit.

A civilization backup the size of a computer disk is on its way to the moon. The “Lunar Library,” created by the Los Angeles-based Arch Mission Foundation, blasted off aboard an Israeli spacecraft in February 21, 2019. It contains tens of thousands of books, images, and the entire English language Wikipedia.

About The Arch Mission Foundation 

The Memory of Humanity 

The Arch Mission Foundation is a non-profit organization that maintains a backup of planet Earth, designed to continuously preserve and disseminate humanity's most important knowledge across time and space.

The Arch Mission Foundation is preserving the knowledge and biology of our planet in a solar system-wide project called The Billion Year Archive.  

The Billion Year Archive Initiative 

The Billion Year Archive will be the largest footprint and longest duration engineering project in human history. It is also the first practical initiative with potential to guarantee that our species and civilization will never be lost. 

The more locations that are ARCH Libraries destinations, the greater the probability that at least some of them will survive to be discovered in the distant future. 

Long after the Pyramids have turned to dust, and no matter what transpires on Earth, The Billion Year Archive will remain.

 Mission organizers referred to it as a time capsule, but there is more to the story. The lunar probe is, in fact, holding a DVD-sized metal disc containing a 30-million-page archive of human knowledge.

 People who have submitted photos to the #MemoriesInDNA project  have selected images of family members, favorite places and tasty food  that will be preserved for years in the form of synthetic DNA. Now this collection, which currently contains more than 3,000 images and is still growing — will be headed to the final frontier: space. 

 This “civilization backup” known as The  Lunar Library, ensures that we never lose humankind’s collective  knowledge, as suggested by Nova Spivack, fellow benefactor of Arch  Mission Foundation, the Los Angeles-based nonprofit behind the project.  Arch Mission Foundation is building a space-based chronicle intended to  survive forever – or at least the next 6 billion years or so. 

The Lunar Library will also contain pages stored as analog microfiche on thin sheets of nickel (dime for scale). The team is still working on how the DNA contents of this library will be stored. Arch Mission Foundation 

 Spivack stated, “One of the primary  evolutionary challenges that we face is amnesia about our past mistakes  and the lack of active countermeasures to repeating them”. “…for the  survival of our species, we need to find ways to raise our awareness of  what worked and didn’t work, and we need to ensure it is shared with the people of the future.” 

 Director of the Beyond Center for  Fundamental Concepts in Physics at Arizona State University, Paul  Davies, sees the Lunar Library as for the most part representative, yet  still essential. “It encourages people to reflect on humankind’s place  in the universe,” he stated, and to reexamine how we look for proof of  nonhuman civilizations, as well. 

Davies  states “If we can leave records on the moon for a huge duration, maybe  E.T. will have done the same”, adding that it may bode well for people  to also search for alien relics on the moon or different areas. 

The  concept of sending a library into space has been suggested in the past.  Spivack and his team put a disc containing the whole content of Asimov’s well known “Foundation” trilogy into the glove box of the Tesla  Roadster which launched into orbit around the Sun last year. 

For  the Lunar Library, the extension must be far more extensive. Spivack  added, “We are building a Rosetta Stone for beings who inhabit our solar  system in the future”. 

So what is stored on the Lunar Library? Along with collections of songs, children’s drawings and writings about  Israeli culture and history, there are also more than 200 gigabytes worth of the entire Wikipedia in English-language version; tens of  thousands of fiction and non-fiction books; textbooks; and a guide to 5,000 languages accompanied with 1.5 billion sample translations between them. All of this data stored onto 21 nickel disks. 

So finally, we conclude that the project of Arch Mission Foundation will hopefully set an historical example to save the Human History.
