Citable sources of information on the Immortality drive is sadly lacking, from what I've been able to Google up. It would be useful to include data such as:

• Type of memory device (From what I saw, it is probably a memory card, but no citeable source on that)
• A more extensive list of whose DNA was digitized, and any other data that was included
• How/where the Immortality Drive is stored on the ISS.
• More about Richard Garriot's involvement in the project. (He is the mastermind behind it, I believe.)

2008 not 1998 according to "Life After Humans" on history channel. Changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.69.167 (talk) 03:09, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it ironic? This little jewel of information escaped the public eye? Even more so, a creative commons project moderated by "ahem..." and controversy scrutinized. Im not a fan of the FOI Act. Irresponsible to even consider. However, on the moot idea that was the best humanity had accomplished, or the legacy to leave behind is in itself the very reason humanities extinction. I will venture to say eligible donors of DNA "winners" in no way sequenced the human genome. Rather their own genome was sequenced, by a turing machine. Thus, not any merit of their own. A gamer, a scientist, athlete, comedian, lets not forget the porn star. Cant say I would volunteer to write the childrens books and be the ugly duckling. Fortunately, someone was left here on earth to use the "cont, alt, DEL" My X just so happens to serve a different purpose. That little button most often situated at the top right corner of useless information, applications, sometimes means close, corfirm, but always elicits a response. I am no longer staring at garbage either. 71.220.20.63 (talk) 14:46, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
