Unfortunately, we won't be able to anticipate which body NASA might want
to crash a craft into to create a "fireworks display" for a Fourth of

compelled to ramp up from mere comets.

And then, there are always the Volgons to worry about...

It's likely that before a final digital format and medium is
established, we
will be able to put both the media and the mechanisms in time capsules
on the
moon or a large asteroid where both will be preserved for millennia.
