Introducing the Lunar Library II: the largest archive of Earth, destined for the Moon next month. The Lunar Library II is 60M+ pages and includes the @Wikipedia, @rosettaproject, & more, safeguarded using NanoFiche and DNA storage technology. It's not just text, this is a cultural mosaic, archiving music, photography, and film, with contributions from partners like @SETIInstitute's The Earthling Project, the @AldrinFamilyFdn, and more. Compared to the first Lunar Library, which crash landed on the Moon in 2019, the Lunar Library II has double the data density and will be more discoverable upon the successful landing of the @Astrobotic Peregrine lunar lander set to launch December 24th, 2023. The Lunar Library 2 is an instance of The Billion Year Archive initiative, which aims to build a solar system-wide library system that can preserve, connect, and share humanity’s knowledge for eternity. And we need your help. Please join us to preserve our collective heritage, for the future. We need more people like you. Creatives, scientists, technologists, archivists, journalists, and more to further this mission, across space and time. Learn more here: archmission.org/lunar-librar… Sent with love, from Earth 💙
