Helix Uplink allows people to send their complete DNA as a message to our interstellar neighborhood. The DNA is sequenced from a hair sample and sent on a laser beam to a designated star and its exoplanets. This activity is considered the counterpart to SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and sends the ideal content that humans might find in their search for intelligent life in space: the code that describes this life down to the last detail—the complete DNA. Although the project originally emerged from a scientific context, it is gaining increasing traction among funeral professionals, who understand and support the approach as an alternative burial ritual. As of July 14, 2024, 6,911 exoplanets in 4,941 systems were known. (Videos in the background) An extrapolation based on the underlying scientific data (Kepler/Gaia) yields a density of approximately 400 billion exoplanets in the Milky Way (NASA). The Milky Way is one galaxy among an estimated two trillion in the observable universe. These numbers make the idea of being the only intelligent life form seem absurd.
