adelineThis is a VERY cool project and I want you all to check it out. Click it, damnit! ^,^
Wow, this is such a humbling opportunity. So this is the year 2006 After Christ. We can't even fathom what year 3006 will be like, let alone years 53006 and beyond. I hope you guys don't shoot down the satellite when it enters the atmosphere again - of course if it poses a threat to mankind I understand, but you won't be reading this, so it doesn't really matter what I say. You know what'd be ironic? If the technology to decipher all of our messages here is gone and long forgotten by the time all this data is retrieved. Irony at its finest.
But I love the idea that you will be able to read these, because truth be told I would LOVE to read messages from the men and women of fifty thousand years ago. Thing is, I don't think they even used language yet.
And there's another thing to think about, maybe you people have developed human abilities that are simply beyond our reach as of today. Today, March 14, 2006. Maybe you guys can figure out by some trick of the mind what day of the week that was. If you even still count in years. In case you don't anymore, what we call a year is the time it takes for the Earth to run full circle around the Sun.
Maybe you guys have telepathy? Or not. You can feel free to laugh. I will have you know, though, up until decades ago, people thought the 21st century would be the age of flying cars. FLYING CARS!! Of course by now you might have them, but hello, I'm writing from the year 2006? You see. If literature is still around, you should really check out some of the sci-fi produced this century and last. Maybe they'll seem like tales of your ordinary lives, but to us it makes for great entertainment. I hope you see motion pictures from my age also, I think it'd be quite enlightening for you all. Listen to our music - we had some GREAT stuff, and it hurts my ears to think about what you guys might be listening to. And please will you turn the volume down when your grandparents ask you to?! I mean it, respect the ancient. That would be me, heh. I realize your grandparents most likely haven't yet reached a third of the average life-expectancy age.
Oh, I just thought of something even more ironic than what I've mentioned before. (Oh, yes, this is irony's heyday, live with it.) Sounds completely unreal to me, but here goes. How about Earth has become inhospitable and/or too small for all humans to live on, and you've found other planets to settle on? Then there's no point in our satellite returning to Earth, because nobody lives there anymore! (Yeah, also check out our sci-fi TV shows/movies. "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" are good places to start.) And by the way, in case intelligent species other than mankind have come in contact with you and live in peace together, please tell them I said hello and welcome! If that happens, that is way awesome. And keep the peace, guys. War sucks. People die, money's wasted, plus you all look like cruel bastards and/or idiots.
I guess that's all I can think to say. I hope when I die I come back again in spirit form or whatever, wouldn't mind being reborn human again either, to see what life's like in your day and age; but my guess as to the likelihood of that happening is as good as anyone else's, which isn't very reliable. So take care of yourselves, take care of the peace I hope you have, take care of the environment, take care of your loves, and remember we're only here for a short time. Man, I can't believe I'm writing of a time when I'll be dead and gone and forgotten! So yeah, make the best of your time down here, be dignified, have fun, make a difference. And go ahead, send up another one of these satellites, think of how fun it's been reading all this crap! You know you want to...
I hope your lives are good, I really do. Mine is, I can't complain, but I'm 21 in 2006 and have no idea what it will be like for you kids. Count your blessings if you can, help out the people you can help, and don't eat dogs. They once were man's best companion, you know.
DOR-KYYY. But what else is new?
