From the 18th June, you can send text messages and pictures to aliens. Yes, a company is offering to beam your messages to a planet suspected to be capable of sustaining life. This planet is 17.6 light years from earth. The company, lonesignal, expects users to pay between one and 100 dollars to send their completely uncensored messages to the unsuspecting aliens.
What sort of message should one send to lifeforms that may be completely different than us, both physically and mentally? Moreover, what will these aliens think of Earth's unfiltered stream of 9gag photos? Or of shoutouts to the people you shared breakfast with?
If these messages find intelligent lifeforms, will they think we are intelligent? They may choose to simply stay away from Earth....
