Yeah I wonder if there will be a service like "send your data into space" which sounds equally stupid (use radio waves) but yeah... just longevity woes (sculpt a rock and burry it).
Some of my code is in the arctic vault though a piece of crap Todo List.
There's so many levels of wrong in this post I don't know where to begin. Data isn't being cached. Encrypted data doesn't help anything. It's a flying network router. If you're worried about "cached" data, then don't use the internet (don't actually worry because routers don't substantially cache either).
I said in another comment of mine that I didn't care about it being cached. I wanted it to be there "cached" to be remembered. Like a fragment of data (my data) found that exists long after I'm gone.
The satellite is like a piece of debris/wreckage which someone pointed out it would have deorbited anyway at some point.
Imagine your data gets on a server in the cloud and it dies (gets replicated/replaced/decommissioned ...)
What's special about satellites (and how much caching are they gonna do) and why are you worried about data you have chosen to send in the clear over a network you don't own?
Oh I wasn't implying I was worried about it. It was an indirect reference to a Cowboy Bebop episode (sentient satellite they connect to from decades ago).
