DVD Mounted on Phoenix Mars Lander

Now this is pretty interesting. I wonder what sort of reader device "future Martian explorers" will have on their 3000 Terahertz Quantum PCs and whether it could read this thing? They would have to get a computer historian to decipher the start up mechanism of a museum piece computer and actually boot the thing into the ancient dead OS called Vista.

The mini-DVD from the Planetary Society contains a message to future Martian explorers, science fiction stories and art inspired by the Red Planet, and the names of more than a quarter million earthlings.
