Let me pose a question that at one time could have been considered hypothetical but in today’s world is becoming more of a reality.  If the world was going to end and you had the chance to escape to another planet what is the one thing you would bring with you? Here is your chance to stay ahead of the game and send a piece of you off to space before the planet earth dies.  Be a part of

Operation Immortality has taken preservation to the next level.  This real life project set to launch in October 2008 has been put together to preserve human life and hopefully thwart human extinction should our planet go poof from a giant asteroid or sociopathic dictator with a trigger happy finger on the nukes.  The goal is to put together a package of sorts that will contain lists of our greatest achievements, digitized DNA from the world’s greatest minds, atheles normal every day people and written messages from you and I and send it off to the Internatioanl Space Station.

This package will accompany Richard Garriot to the space station. He’s the driving force behind the free online MMORPG video game Tabula Rasa and who’ll also be the 6th private citizen ever yes thats right only the 6th person not an astronaut to go to space.  This is your chance to send a piece of you into space and let Richard be your escort.

Get in line ’cause there’s thousands of us who want in!  Visit Operation Immortality: Leave your mark. Save Humanity. Check out one of the coolest looking sites I’ve seen in awhile and read up about this neat project.  Download the free game Tabula Rasa and defend Earth!  No credit card or payment required.  Every week during the month of August 8 random players will be chosen to submit their DNA to be digitized and sent off to space!!

Now to wrap this up and answer the question of what I’d take with me if the world was going to end and I had an out….  That really hot girl I had no chance with who once told me that if I was the last man on Earth she might sleep with me!  Because I bet she never thought that day would come.
