And has 100% data integrity for a few hours if no mechanism to repair them almost correctly exist.

This was my thought. DNA isn’t stable so it’s a lousy storage medium. Degrades over time, mutations in living organisms, etc.

Just be careful you don’t store the cup on earth, else it would have to contain itself.

I’m less worried about it containing itself, and more worried about what the two girls holding the cup want to put in it.
