Aloha All,
In Hawaii and other ancient cultures, they've preserved their "history" through petroglyphs, etc. I guess pounding details onto stone sounds a bit medieval, but you can't argue the results, as they have stood the test of time...
Of the three media posed, I think Norsam holds the most promise, but it will always get down to the "ability to read" the information after billions of years...Meanwhile, there is a thriving business for stone-cutters. :-)
Have a WONDERFUL ALOHA FRIDAY!

Background on this. I saw a contract that obligated a person for a billion years (1,000,000,000) so you better get your technology right.
