So that’s where all the MySpace data has gone.
thepedrosader
Doesn't that sound like a Neir:Automata plot?
Bui1derBB
Yeah the moon, hide it in a crater because asteroids never strike twice

Can't wait for aliens to find the Dewey decimal system in there and try to figure that shit out

Wtf is this cup measurement? - aliens probably

MistressLyda
Are they putting one in the seedbank at Svalbard also? And if not, why not? Lack of space?
ash020
Imagine how crazy it would be if, on the way back, we find another library up there from 3 billion years ago
Jaynecobb7
Nigga please, we ain't even willing to learn from our past mistakes right now. We ain't gonna do it then.
vauhtihirmu
We won't, but the cockroach men that rise up in our wake might.
kyome92
What if we go up and find an old copy from a civilization from the past?
PepeLongSuckings
We already did, they are called monoliths and the last civilization left them all over earth, the moon, and mars.
kyome92
Proof?
PepeLongSuckings
Yeah, they are called monoliths.
Synt3xf
Interesting fact, the 30-milion page library consist solely of Pornhub comments
Eldibs
God dammit, Liara, you're sending it too soon.
reverendbonobo
Great idea. After we nuke ourselves back to the stone age, we can rebuild society. All we have to do is go to the Moon and pick up the DVD.
timberjackchris
As long as 2001: a space Odyssey is The first item, and it's all buried under a jet-black obelisk
ensensu
But did they play Horizon Zero Dawn?
shiviro
It's just the APOLLO a.i.
Ialwaysupvoteglenplake
The moon seems like a practical place to keep somthing like that.
Dipshizzle
I think it talks a lot of ww2 but conveniently forgets the Palestinian conflict and annexation.
thomerow
My thoughts exactly
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
Speculation.
OrionRed
We need to put a copy of imgur up there. THAT would give those future archeologists something to read.
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
China’s going to find a previous one on the other side of the moon
Dipityseren
Intercept them on the way back to give them a good shake down to see if they found anything good.
diontheunstable
So... they're making STCs and sending them to Luna? https://pics.me.me/this-gets-me-harder-than-terminator-armor-31322694.png

Let’s hope future humans are still using blu-ray in a hundred years time.
TheWarHymn
I believe it's a physically etched disc meant to be viewed with a microscope. Similar to the Rosetta Disc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Project
Cavalrysword
Good thinking.
imgurmage
I some how doubt by the time we might need it, we'll be able to read the data on that disc, let alone remember that is there. Neat idea thou
Kaysmira
I wonder this about the great seed vault. When we need it, how the do we get to it? What if all authorized people die in a disaster?
SinStar87
Don't worry, all civilization backups come pre-packaged with Rosetta Stone.

You want to **** 2B, don't you?
allthenamesaregone
I'm sure Israel was completely unbiased on which information was chosen, and how it was presented.
kostor
Well then, other countries can do the same with their chosen books.
mdzmdz
New Testament? Oh we didn't have room for that...
NaughtButOne
Perhaps you'd prefer the Turks, or the Chinese prepared the archive.
FieryWitherRose
Hey come on now, we're not so bad. We did invent gunpowder
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
"Hey it says here in big red letters "Palestine deserved everything it got times infinity no backsies""
marsgoose
I think any govt. would be bias, it's just kinda funny with Israel since if you criticize them in any capacity
marsgoose
someone always pops up to associate you with a man that grew a funny mustache.
ingelri
Launch your own moon probe, salty ass goy.
NERDRAGEohacat
Apparently it's 25,000 books and a full copy of Wikipedia's contents - so essentially useless.
rezpawner
It's nice that we can introduce another civilisation to pranks, even after we're long gone.
rezpawner
...by fucking them up entirely, and leading them towards disaster, thanks to a couple of well-edited wikipedia articles.
FluffyKittyLover
But how do you play the disc? I never understood that part of these things.
TheWarHymn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD-Rosetta
Kaysmira
I know, right? So you include a disc player! How do you power it? Batteries die. We'll include a generator! Will they know how to use it?
FluffyKittyLover
The one NASA launched had instructions on how to build a player, and I always thought, how the fuck do they read the instructions?
ZebraCockSandwich
there are probably a lot of pictures, and anyone who got to the damn moon should be able to figure it out.
dnsbubba
And if civilization craps out, how do we get it?
JHudd
There's a string attached to it.
MrMasked
Imagine if humanity was all but wiped out and it became a legend that all of human history could be found on the moon
RhymingEverything
That makes for a good plot
LimyMage918
Hope it rebuilds itself and goes to the moon again in a couple thousand years
merelyadequategooglymoogly
Wait till we rebuild, then go find the big black obelisk.
smorsdoeuvres
I still appreciate the attempt at a backup plan..
UnitsToNesquikGuy
Please. I'm sure man will walk on the moon for the first time in the next 6 billion years. That is, if you even believe in the moon.
ThePastmaster
The moon is a giant hollow egg that births the reptilians that control the world.
Kallistocles
It includes instructions on how to achieve space flight
hispanicyankee
More to the point- how would future civilizations that know nothing of ours read the disc?
RhymingEverything
And how small is the print on it?
TheWarHymn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD-Rosetta
hispanicyankee
I mean I assume it’s written in Hebrew, which this hypothetical future Civilization would have never encountered before.
xLynnuh
Exactly
ghostfacevader
Assuming we follow the same path that led us here, we will attempt space flight. With the moon being the closet orbital object we would 1/2
RhymingEverything
But if we get to the moon it's pretty safe to say we are going to keep going
Muffyns
And what if the sun craps out
blarglebrle
Earth will be engulfed by the sun as it enters its red giant phase long before the sun craps out.
LegoStomper
There's pleeenty of time between now and then for Humanity to go extinct.
grimmgramm
Yeah but I feel that one closer to home might be a benefit
ZebraCockSandwich
we have a lot of protected items on the earth for this already, this one is 'in case we fuck all those up' its there, if we can get it.
MrRavellon
Lack of microorganisms and water is good at preserving things.
MtMuschmore
Plus it's a kind of "we were here" if catastrophe hits Earth.
ghostfacevader
eventually travel there anf possibly find the information. Evolution is a revolving door
RachTrap
"Holy fuck guys, we've apparently been here before!"
PotatOSLament
Hundreds of millions of years of dinosaurs compared to hundreds of thousands of years of humans tells me otherwise
LucidAftermath
So say we all.
dnsbubba
Once we're able to get it, would we actually need it?
FjoltnyrIII
But what about the password, and the 30 day free trial
DirkNurple
Still stupid. A culture that has spaceflight doesn’t need the head start it could have gotten from the wisdom of prior ages.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Not only can we still learn from our past, but it's not just about that, it's also about passing down our history.
Table5
If there's just 1 book giving a warning about the Kardashian Virus, it will still save their race.
Camelspotting
They could skip ahead 50 years technologically. That's far from nothing.
DirkNurple
Or they could have left it on earth and skipped ahead 4000.
batttyroy
If we follow the same path then reach the moon again, we won’t need the back-up.
ghostfacevader
Because you travel the same path doesn't mean you re learn every bit of lost info. Vaccines, current advanced tech, agriculture were discove
ghostfacevader
Red by chance
batttyroy
Good premise for a sci-fi story
skindredzakuska
But if we get that far again, we’ll have a new history of having learned what works or not and finding that will make us question so much
vauhtihirmu
Well, there's still plenty of mistakes we can make that would lead to civilizational reset, and we're on path for at least two of them.
skindredzakuska
And what will those people think about aliens when they find stuff on the moon? What if we do? Or even mars?

peamupbubber
Maybe there is a "humanity" backup disc on Mars and we just haven't found it yet.
PepeLongSuckings
Pretty likely actually.
SinStar87
Should have put it on the moon, see we're learning from past mistakes already.
kraeftig
Maybe earth was the backup of the species and we're originally from mars.
kulahog
With mars being the first “earth”... that gives me chills, r/writing prompt
