How do you like the idea of sending a message into space addressed to future generations? That is what the so-called KEO Project is aiming at. KEO stands for Knowledge-centred Earth Observation. Its name also represents the three most frequently used sounds (1) common to the widely spoken languages today
KEO is one of the biggest collective projects in history started by Jean-Marc Philippe, a French artist, in 1994. He designed a time capsule and invited people from all around the world to write messages about their ways of life, their hopes and dreams, (2) doubts and disappointments. Once the satellite is launched, the messages will be made freely available on the web. “They will be anonymous, but it is possible that through them we’ll have a new image of humanity today,” says Jean-Marc Philippe.
The time capsule is supposed to be launched into space so that it could return to Earth in 50 years and the people living in the middle of the 21st century will be able (3) to have an idea what our life is like. Apart from the messages, the time capsule will also carry a diamond that encases a drop of human blood, samples of air, sea water and earth, photographs of people of all cultures and “the contemporary library of Alexandria” — an encyclopaedic compendium of current human knowledge. The latter is a catalogue of the flora and fauna, a catalogue of the arts and some fundamental texts.
(4) by the time it returns to Earth KEO will have travelled 14.5 million kilometres around the planet. It has a pair of wings designed to give terrestrial observers a better chance to spot it in the sky. The wings will be able (5) to open and close as they pass between sunlight and darkness, using the natural solar power.
Messages have come from different countries (6) in about fifty languages KEO’s memory bank is so large that it can keep the messages of every one of the 6 billion inhabitants of the planet Earth. The KEO Project is hoped to answer two important questions — (7) who we are and what we could do together to create a more human world.
