Spacecast
Space Cast your “mindfile” to the stars. LifeNaut.com contracts with a commercial satellite provider to broadcast (Spacecast) your unique life information or “bemes” to a satellite located 22,300 miles over the equator. Our Spacecasts flood past the satellite and continue into deep space at the speed of light. Spacecasting your bemes ensures that some aspect of you can survive any catastrophe that might befall earth. Advanced technology that is capable of recovering the Spacecast signal will also be capable of reconstructing yourself from the information in the Spacecast.
"Beme" me up!
The Science Behind Terasem’s Spacecasting Efforts
Some people believe there’s no way extraterrestrials could pick up signals we transmit to satellites – which necessarily mostly flow past the satellites like rushing water around a pebble. They argue that these spacecasts would be hopelessly buried in the natural static of the cosmos.
Because of the inverse-square law of physics, every doubling of distance causes a four-fold reduction in intensity, which is why you lose radio stations as you cruise out of town (unless you’re hip to Sirius XM). The signal strength of a Terasem spacecast that reaches nearby stars (about a hundred trillion or 100x10exp12 km away) will be a trillionth of a trillionth (100x10exp24) of the strength of when they were sent.
But you can always pick a signal out of the cosmic background static with a large enough antenna. For example, at 50 light-years distance, an ET could find an earthly television carrier signal in a hundred-hour search using an antenna the size of Texas. By the way, a continuous antenna that size is not needed – a “synthetic aperture antenna,” meaning using wirelessly networked microcomputers attached to trillions of little antenna elements floating in space would be just fine. At interstellar distances, using a Texas size pieces of space for one or more antennas are but a specks of dust.
The first radio telescope, constructed in the 1930s, had a dish the size of your backyard patio. New ones cover many acres. That’s a mammoth improvement in less than a century. At this rate of development, ET societies a few thousand years beyond ours could easily build antennas large enough to receive Terasem’s spacecasts. Furthermore, our spacecasts blanket an expanding sphere, with the earth at the center, spreading out at the speed of light. Every few years more and more planets will be passed by the Terasem wavefront.
What will ET do with our spacecasts? We believe that if they are capable of receiving them, they will be capable of understanding them. If they are capable of understanding them, they will realize the spacecasters have expressed their intent to be downloaded and reconstituted based upon their spacecast mindfile information. If they are capable of this level of understanding, we believe they will feel ethically bound to comply with the expressed intent and will be technologically capable of doing so. Thus, through spacecasting, Terasemers believe we are traveling at lightspeed across space and time to continued lives of happiness around one or more distant suns.

The planet, about 40 light-years away from Earth, is extremely hot and probably cloaked in a crushing atmosphere, astronomers said. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/17/science/space/17planet.html
