Wasn't something similar to this discussed earlier when someone had brought
up the topic of storing data for 100 years? I think someone mentioned just
bouncing the data back and forth between satellites, and just retrieving it
whenever it was needed. Although that method would probably have a higher
packet-loss rate.

Subject: Internet as delay line memory?
To put myself to sleep the other night, I was thinking about the recent
discussions about core memory, and I remembered a wire delay line memory
I'd once disassembled as a teen, and thought about the old mercury delay
line memories, and then moved it to the Internet.
