Out of this world: Group plans to send Sefer Torah to the moon
(...)
A Tel Aviv-based group has plans to preserve the Jewish faith, in case of an apocalypse, by sending a hand-written Sefer Torah to the moon.

"These three texts are among Earth's most ancient documents, created over 3000 years ago. They are significant to billions of people."
