Making the data fault tolerant to the discovery by another civilization, its collapse and later rediscovery by another civilization seems a bit of a stretch goal. :)

Compared to a cold object being detected and then picked up from somewhere out in deep space?

Maybe you could detect the directional radio beam we used to talk to it first ? Would be likely doable with a stellar scale radio telescope array.

That's the "discovery by another civilization" part, so yes.

It was always a very long shot, regardless of who might be the recipients. Would we have been better off if it had not been done?
