that some real people not only trust Covfefe himself but also his personal lawyer.

Also, "By adding redundancy via Reed–Solomon error correction coding and by encapsulating the DNA within silica glass spheres via Sol-gel chemistry, the researchers predict error-free information recovery after up to 1 million years at -18 °C and 2000 years if stored at 10 °C." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_digital_data_storage

If you scratch something on the rock, and send it flying in space, it'll stay the same probably for billions of years, no?

My understanding is that the amount information (per volume) we can store on DNA is huge, much greater that scratches on rocks.

Well, per volume, yes; but the rock can be much bigger.

Researchers claim that all world's digital data encoded in DNA would fit into one SUV.
