hey


Seriously? What the fuck do they expect extraterrestrial organisms to make of this shit? The average person on our own planet wouldn't be able to understand this shit, except for the red human figure. But even that would be completely alien to the aliens.
Oh I'm sure clever aliens would be able to figure it out

I can make out the depiction of the solar system, and I'm pretty sure the blue spirals are supposed to be DNA

It's been a good 50+ years from my understanding and we haven't picked up anything from beyond the reaches of our solar system. Maybe we're not doing it right, or maybe, just maybe, intelligent life on, or above our level is extremely rare and takes huge lengths of time to develop - just look at how long it took for humans to arise from life here.
That particular message was sent to a star cluster 25,000 light years away, it'll be quite some time before it reaches its destination

I wasn't specifically referring to the Arecibo message.
Yeah, just edited my post >.>

Also have to consider how stars far away wouldn't pick up our signals, any stars beyond like 100 light years aren't going to be getting anything from us since that's about how long we've even had stuff like radio

We should still be receiving signals if sentient life was common, no?

Nope, I think I completely misunderstood you

Dunno, maybe our tech isn't good enough to pick stuff up, or no one's broadcasting our way because no one knows we're here

Probably capture it and run tests on it, kill it, or leave it alone.

If we discover ocean life on one of the jovian moons in our system you can bet your fucking ass it'll start a space race with Japan.

What with alien seafood markets being open for business and all.

Anything we meet out there would be so far beyond us that we would be little more than curiosities.

I don't think a lot will change, unless they're on a similar/greater level of Tech development and we can communicate clearly.

Pretty much nothing. Contact would be nearly impossible for intelligent life ((sapient and non sapient) which doesn't exist in our stellar neighbourhood), and microbisl life probably wouldn't change the lives of most people.

Depends on three things:

1. How smart they are
2. How far away they are
3. If we can talk to them

Well first thing I'd try to figure out is if I can fuck them.
Awoo is hopping to be cat people aliens
A race of nekos would be awesome.
Asobi Ni Iku Yo, anyone? That anime is literally what Awoo is hoping for most likely.
