vanity: What Would You Send into Outer Space?

Posted on 01/10/2015 7:53:24 PM PST by Jamestown1630

This is a vanity; a whimsy that I came up with tonight.

IF you were going to send a rocket into outer space, that included a little package containing all of the things that YOU wanted to preserve for posterity and communicate to extraterrestrials that might be out there, What would you send?

I thought of a few things; not a complete list by far, and not in any particular order (except for the first four ;-)

1. The Holy Bible - OT, NT, Tanakh

2. The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States of America

3. The Magna Carta

4. The Pledge of Allegiance (including the 'UNDER GOD' part!)

5. All of Shakespeare

6. A video of Ronald Reagan saying "Tear Down This Wall!"

7. Bobby Hatfield singing 'Unchained Melody'

8. Anything that Julia Child or Red Skelton or Victor Borge, did on TV

9. The latest edition of 'The Joy of Cooking'. (In case they want to cook for man, instead of 'Serving Man')

10. A copy of Dickens', 'A Christmas Carol', and videos of all the movies that have been made of the story.

Carry On!

The meaning of this would puzzle alien philosophers for centuries.

Obama and his wife, Hillary and her husband, every Muslim on the planet, and about 20 million illegal aliens. Oh, let’s add about a thousand journalists and code pinkos. And Villaraigosa. I could go on and on and on.

No, I meant what would you send to preserve it; a ‘time capsule’ kind of thing.

What would you want to save from this planet; what memories, what things that you thought were valuable, and OUGHT to be saved?

5. All of Shakespeare

All? "Titus Andronicus"? "The Winter'sTale"?

Why do you hate posterity?

NO! The idea was, things that you want to *preserve*. Not things that you want to ‘throw away’.

Ok, I guess this was a bad idea.

(But I still want to save all of the things in my OP.)

G’nite,

JT

Ashes of all US gubmint employees, including Congress.

Also, the ashes of most Acts of Congress passed within the last 100 years.

Also, the ashes of all White Hut Executive Orders, & regulations issued by Fed bureaucrats in the last 100 years.

Also, the ashes of all lamestream media employees.

Also, the radioactive ashes of all jihadists.

Also, the meteor & its black cube container in Mecca (just sending it back home).

Also, Bill Klintoon.

And plenty of other garbage.

reminds me of that Guns and Roses song:

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her, six feet under, and I can still hear her complain

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I’d miss her, so I had to keep her
She’s buried right in my back yard

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She bitched so much. She drove me nuts, and now I’m happier this way
I used to love her, but I had to kill her, and I can still hear her complain
