The news here in America has been reporting on this so I thought I would post the link. The story is courtesy of CNN, I can't wait to see what's in it!

Well, darn, it sounds like they don't plan to open it any time soon. They're going to add some things, and save it for... how much later?

I found a report that the time capsule is to be opened next month in January 2015. I hope so, I'm very curious to see what is in there. It looks like it's been opened before in 1855, but this kind of mystery is always interesting

I'll post again if they do open it.

Cheers :)
