    Contacting extraterrestrial life seems like the dumbest way to die for humanity, and a sure confirmation we are looking for one — especially considering some of our smartest people work on it.

    We should be looking for ways of concealing our ratio imprint, not broadcasting invites.

    That idiot scientist in Prometheus playing with that alien cobra thingy? That's us.

    • Sorry, a typo: I meant radio not ratio.
      We should be flying in stealth mode.

    • Yep, this is a terrible idea - same with intentional electromagnetic or photonic contact. There should be international consensus agreed before commencing.detritus
    • This is a beyond a species level decision - christ, the responsibility of our entire biosphere would be at stake here.detritus
    • What are the chances of advanced alien life forms not being hostile? Slim. If they made it thus far, it's likely cause they were ruthless, like us.raf
