"Foundation:" Elon Musk wants to send a record of Grokipedia to space
"Musk posted his plan following the launch of Grokipedia's V0.1's iteration. The CEO congratulated the xAI team for the online encyclopedia's launch, though he also stated that the goal for Grokipedia is to create an open-source collection of knowledge. This would then be distributed to the cosmos."
"While seemingly outlandish, this is not the first time that a record of human knowledge of sorts was sent out to space. In 1977, the Voyager Golden Record was launched aboard NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. The record contains sounds and images that ere aggregated to portray the diversity of the Earth's culture. Of course, Musk's plan with Grokipedia, is infinitely more ambitious."
"Nice work by the @xAI team on https://t.co/op5s4ZiSwh!The goal here is to create an open source, comprehensive collection of all knowledge.Then place copies of that etched in a stable oxide in orbit, the Moon and Mars to preserve it for the future. Foundation.- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 28, 2025"
Grokipedia V0.1 launched online as an AI-driven, open-source encyclopedia intended to compile a comprehensive collection of human knowledge. Copies of the encyclopedia will be etched in stable oxide and placed in Earth orbit, on the Moon, and on Mars to preserve information for the future. The initiative is presented as a far more ambitious archival effort than the Voyager Golden Record by aiming to store a broader, continuously updated knowledge base. Grokipedia is powered by xAI's Grok and aims to reduce human bias in conventional online knowledge platforms while enabling long-term preservation across celestial locations.
