The KEO satellite is scheduled to launch in 2006, on a 50,000 year round trip.
Before it leaves people are invited to write messages that will be sent on it, so upon its return whoever (and whatever) exists can read them.

Got to be a hoax, theyll ask for sponsors next, or a gallon of four star from budding applicants.
