And what's the point of it in space? Knowledge doesn't disappear when it's not on wikipedia. If humans are still around they will continue contributing to knowledge. Just because it's not printed or recorded doesn't mean that information or knowledge doesn't exist.

There are 14 people on the ISS. If they were the only ones left, they would certainly not have the breadth knowledge of a Wikipedia dump.

And how would these 14 survive if they are the only ones left? Do you know that there's a whole support team to support them in space? It's not just 14 people. There are hundreds on the ground supporting them.
Yeah, ISS itself is not that realistic.
