First 10,000 people to sign the petition will have their names transmitted with the 'Voyager Record 2.0' message as well

About the New Horizons Message Initiative, when I subscribed it a scaring doubt came to my mind: how much time a message can safely remain stored in the onboard flash memory. I strongly suspect that, due to ionizing radiation, it's very limited time, if compared to interstellar journey duration or even to Voyager disk life. Do someone knows some figure about this issue?

how much time a message can safely remain stored in the onboard flash memory.

Even in a terrestrial application, the guaranteed data retention time for NAND flash is only on the order of 10 years. It's likely that lower storage temperature will extend that, but flash is not a great choice for long-term data archiving.
