In 10 million years, why would we remember about any of these libraries they want to launch if we forgot the other knowledge? It's like dropping a well-protected USB with all our knowledge in the ocean with no method to locate it later, it will be buried and gone before we know it. I personally don't think we'll enter the "age of immortality" as the human race until we've spread our knowledge (and our civilization) further than just one set of discs on one moon around one planet around one star or one Tesla automobile orbiting around one star.

I guess it's more the thought that counts. I'm not sure it would have been very practical even if the thing hadn't crashed.
