Hard Drive Backup

Most space shows on TV have one thing in common: the fascination with the search for another habitable planet. Scientists know Earth cannot go on forever. Resources will run out, and mankind will become extinct. Relocating to another planet is our only hopebut thats impossible since we dont have the means to get there. Even if traveling one-tenth the speed of lightwhich we cant do yetit would take forty-three years to get to Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our solar system. Unless something phenomenal happens in the next million years, the knowledge man has spent so much time to attain will be for naught. It will be lost when Earth ceases to exist, and even if we do survive someplace else, eventually that place will cease to exist, too. What if there was a way to change the tragic course of mankinds demise? A brilliant group of individuals will try to discover a way to spread humanitys acquired knowledge into space, albeit without human form. For eons, Earth has been humanitys hard drive, saving everything weve learned. With the eventual destruction of this hard drive, it might be possible for our disembodied intellects to become the hard drive backup but time is running out.
