Summary: Imagine you're on your way to the moon and you'd like to bring something nice along to leave behind that represents humanity. In the 1960's, at the height of the space race/cold war, NASA astronauts left behind the iconic American flag. In 2017, what would you leave behind? How about Wikipedia? Indeed when the PTScientists began working on their own mission to the moon, the one thing they definitely wanted to take with them -- Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is huge and it is on the internet. How then should it be taken to the moon? And more importantly, what should get to go? Today on the podcast, from the initial idea, to the process, to the final product -- the story of Wikipedia to the Moon, told by one of its architects: Michael Jahn. If you're looking for hope at the start of the new year, look no further.. listen to this!
