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!

LOL
I would send all of the Muzzies I could round up on a one-way trip to the sun.
she has no respect for muh athoritay!
It should probably have a printed warning: ‘Point away from eye(s) when unscrewing lid’ or Earth might be invaded by legions of alien lawyers.
Maybe a slinky instead?
You could fit all of that onto a small flash drive.
And I guess it would take a very small rocket. Room for a lot more *stuff*.

Maybe the US Constitution, since it seems to no longer have any value on planet Earth.
Well..
Space is kind of a terrible place to preserve certain things, cosmic rays tend to break down some objects, inks, materials.
Heavy duty shielding would be required.
But it is a great place to put things “out of the way”.
Nuclear waste. Why leave it on the Earth?
Well, then we’ll bury it somewhere on Earth.
The point is: what would you save, and want to be preserved?
-JT
Constitution, bill of rights, declaration of independence, etc etc.
“As long as my Tele stays here, I concur your post..!”
I’ve got a few extras that I don’t play. My ‘91 MIJ, with pup upgrades beats them all. And I’ve been playing Teles for 50 years!
Moon Pies
And an RC cola?

Perfect and comprehensive wish list to rid the world of what ails us!
I almost said that. LOL!
LOL. Or cowbells, many of them, even though you can’t hear them in space.
Nothing about primate mating with the human hedgehog Ron Jeremy?
but I might be sued for 'Outer Space Pollution'.
