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.
