Will aliens have a turntable to play the LP with Voyager?
So what file format will you use. JPEG may not be supported anymore by
then. And which media will you use. Digital tape? Three inch Floppy? USB thumb drives may be a stone age mystery to them. And the Cloud might delete it if you don't keep your account current. You would need a string of 160,000,000 descendants who would each be willing to upgrade the format and the media, possibly several times per generation. Still photography is becoming so 20th century. Better would be to set up a foundation to build a time lapse video of the transition from now to then. Soon it will need to be a three d holographic video to even hold the interest of succeeding generations. As I learned in Latin class. Tempus fugit non comebackibus. DT

Cool! Thanks Joe! Maybe I should leave a really good photo of the milkyway for my relatives (160,000,000 generations from now) so they can see what it looked like "back in my day". :-)
