Bridger writes "Under a programme creepily called 'Operation Immortality' by NCsoft, Digg founder Kevin Rose, tech blogger Robert Scoble and techy venture capitalist Tim Draper will all soon send their DNA into orbit to join that of some of Earth's better athletes, musicians and thinkers. The bogger DNA which will be personally delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) by game designer Richard Garriott, who is flying out there on Oct. 12 as a private citizen. Operation Immortality's so called "Immortality Drive" is now apparently well under way, with people world over lining up to load ridiculous personal messages onto the "digital time capsule of the human race", to be sent to ISS along with Drapers DNA and Scoble's saliva samples."
