We have done things like this before with space faring satellites and probes such Voyager 1. Perhaps its actually a sign of maturity as a species that we are now thinking about the legacy we want to leave behind once we are gone, much like how older people contemplate writing a living will.

If cleansing cycles strike the earth every 62,000,000 years, maybe this time
