Today we are talking about a historic time capsule from the Stardust that was buried in 1961. I learned about this in class this week when we were talking about the mob era in Vegas and the introduction of the strip etc. Professor Turk showed this picture and it caught my attention big time because I haven't ever seen this picture and had no idea that this was something that has been done. So, I looked into it, found this one as well as another one from the Stardust that was buried in 2003. Then, there are two other ones that were buried in 2005 in the Centennial Plaza downtown. With this information and what I have read these capsules will be found and brought back to the surface 100 years after they have been buried. Meaning that the original Stardust will come up in 2061 which I really want to see if I have the chance, I'll do anything!! The 2nd Stardust capsule will be unearthed in 2103 and the two in downtown will be 2105 which is far away, but I hope those that have the opportunity to see it document it and share it with the world. Make sure that people see what things were around in the early 2000s and how things have changed to current day. What performers wore or what type of technology was around. Things like that is what I would really be interested in. This is an interesting one so I hope you all enjoy!
