Geeks to send DNA into space
Uber-geeks Kevin Rose and Robert Scoble are to have their DNA sent into space.
Kevin Rose, creator of Digg and tech blogger Robert Scoble will now have their DNA digitized and the codes will be sent to the International Space Station (ISS) on Oct. 12.
'Operation Immortality' aims to collect and archive the very best of what humanity has accomplished by storing a digital time capsule of the human race on the ISS.
This includes messages from people around the world along with the digitized DNA samples from some of Earth’s brightest minds, musicians, and athletes (plus Rose and Scoble.)
"It is exciting to have Kevin and Robert join this project and be a part of preserving their accomplishments which have changed our world," said game designer and project member Richard Garriott.
"These individuals are some of the most creative and innovative minds in Silicon Valley and we are honored to include them as part of our snapshot of humanity in the 21st Century."
