Interesting idea
I was browsing Digg and noticed this article http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article3511818.ece
Its an interesting idea, a databank on the lunar surface that broadcasts back to repositories on earth (perhaps with some sort of auto activation by detecting objects with a sizeable mass on an impact trajectory (my idea)) and contains all or much of the essential information to rebuild stuff. I guess It wouldn’t even need to be on the lunar surface it could function from a satellite as well.
Either way I like the idea.
