It's good to know people are finally working on long-term nonvolatile storage. To date, just about every storage syatem we've developed has had a storter lifespan than the previous one, NAND versus magnetic storage for instance.

The idea isn't new of course, just think back to Dave removing HAL's glass/crystal memory modules in 2001. Clarke/Kubrick were thinking along those lines in the 1960s.
