SpaceX's Falcon Heavy carrying a 'library' on quartz disc
New insight has emerged on the contents of Elon Musk's Falcon Heavy, which blasted off from Cape Canaveral earlier this month. The Tesla Roadster is carrying a small disc developed by researchers at the University of Southampton in England. The disc, which looks like a shrunken DVD, is storing information on human knowledge and was designed by a group aiming to preserve history called the Arch Mission Foundation. This includes Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy, a series of science fiction books. A disc made by the Arch Mission Foundation is on board Elon Musk's orbiting Tesla Roadster.
