(OT) : Dead Media Never Really Die

See the ComputerWorld article : 'Dead Media' never really die.

Dead Media never really die, it says. But I know of hardware that is dead for all practical purposes. Surely there are formats that are irretrievable now. What formats would you use for 20year / 50 year / 100 year / 200 year time capsules ? What about space exploration that may return to Earth after centuries ? How do we read the data that the explorer has collected ?
