Should something happen to humans (e.g. nuclear apocalypse, zombies, asteroid), it’s good to know we’ve got an external hard drive containing the fully digitised DNA sequences of a select group of humans.

In case you’re wondering who made the cut, it’s quite the eclectic bunch: Stephen Colbert, Playboy model Jo Garcia, game designer Richard Garriott, fantasy authors Tracy Hickman and Laura Hickman, pro wrestler Matt Morgan, and athlete Lance Armstrong. Oh to be a radioactive fly on the wall of our future civilisation…

Known as the Immortality Drive, this human time capsule was taken to the International Space Station on October 12, 2008. It also contains a microchip with a copy of the children’s book ‘George’s Secret Key to the Universe.’
