Dave Winer (RSS/XML pioneer/evangelist) on interplanetary data storage:

I'd like to pay a few bucks to beam my thoughts to a nearby solar system that might have intelligent life.

Back in the 70s, I thought it was really cool when they sent a satellite into the cosmos bearing a copy of the Magna Carta and Declaration of Independence and some Chuck Berry tunes (and Beethoven and Bach as well).

I think this should be available to ordinary people like you and me, possibly for a charge. Maybe they could run a contest or have a reality show for people who don't want to spend the money.

Now that's TV I would watch.
