[QUOTE="the_taste_of_cigarettes:244894"]Update [March 14, 2005]: A successful "test transmission" of 138,179 classified ads designated by craigslist users for outer space took place yesterday, in conjunction with the Atlas launch at Cape Canaveral -- full details here ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beam your craigslist ad into space WHAT: craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster won an eBay auction for the first private communication transmission light years into deep space, with the idea of offering this opportunity to craigslist users. HOW: The friendly folks at Deep Space Communications Network (DSCN) will beam the postings trillions of miles into space using redundant klystron transmitters and a satellite dish. HOW MUCH: The winning bid was $1225, but craigslist is negotiating with DSCN for extra capacity to accomodate the anticipated volume of craigslist postings to be transmitted - 10,000 ads were designated by users for transmission during the first 24 hours! WHEN: The transmission is currently scheduled for May 15th, 2005, directly following the launch of the space shuttle Discovery. WHERE: Cape Canaveral, FL WHY: It seemed fitting for craigslist users to be the first to beam internet postings and classified ads into deep space. PRESS::::::::: craigslist press release ::::::::: google news search ::::::::PR contact - Susan Mactavish Best FAQ: Q: Is this a hoax. A: No. Q: Do you really think there is a chance that Extraterrestrials will receive and understand this transmission? A: DSCN has assured us that there is a nonzero chance of this happening. Pretty exciting! Q: Will you be charging users for this opportunity? A: Of course not. Q: How will the postings be selected for transmission? A: A checkbox on the posting form will be available starting immediately Q: Will picture postings be included? A: Yes. Don't forget to brush your hair. Q: Why is this being done in conjunction with the launch of the Discovery? A: Because the equipment being used for the transmission will be available during that time slot. Q: How many postings will be beamed into space? A: Quite a few. In the first 24 hours, approximately 10,000 postings were earmarked by users for transmission Q: Will anything else be included in the transmission? A: A personal video statement from Craig, a clip from the documentary film "24 hours on craigslist", and ...? [/QUOTE]
