For me, it shows a compassion for the people of the future, which is inspiring in a way. Similar to the Voyager golden records, which are unlikely to ever be found by anyone, it is partially an exercise in understanding ourselves.

I'd rather they showed compassion by not wasting resources and built the proper waste disposal sites so that we can increase nuclear power use and shutdown coal/oil/gas.

Global warming is a way bigger threat than at worst a few localized hazards.

Any money diverted from waste disposal to this idea is wasted.
