The moon landing was staged.

JFK left the Earth in 1963 to negotiate peace and trade with a far-off alien race. The so-called "moon landing" was a CIA coverup to keep the russians from realizing the truth.

"But now the man who sent four maps into deep space fears this decision could prove to be disastrous."

they just talked about this as objectivly as possible, never did the person writing the article even put a slight bit of his own opinion in

also i guess we should diss stephen hawking for his opinion on this

Fascists never dominated the moon. Get that through your thick skull, bigot.

Actually, we're more likely than not to end up saving a far-off alien civilization from destruction.

Somewhere out there is a world populated by a race that has fractured into competing religious factions, using more and more devastating weapons, and bringing their whole world to the brink of oblivion--when, one day, an automated probe is detected passing through their system.

They realize the probe is artificial. That it was built by sentient beings. From another star.

They see that this probe has no weapons. It was not sent by warriors, but by explorers.

The discovery that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe--us--brings their religious war to an abrupt end.

So they launch a spaceship to try and find the beings who sent the probe. And many years later, the human race makes contact with friendly aliens.


(suck it, Hollywood)

[Manwith Noname]

Other lifeforms are going to find it and laugh saying...

"Remember when we did this?"

[Rickenbacker]

Won't matter. Even if the maps survive in any kind of readable form, it's unlikely in the extreme that they'll ever be found. And IF they are, it'll be millions of years from now, and we'll be long gone anyway. At least they can have a poke through our ruins and wonder what went wrong.

[GeneralVeers]

Other possibility: after we develop FTL technology, we'll decide to go pick up the space probes with the maps on them, bring them back, and put them in the Smithsonian.

[Magna0pera]

Just send the TR-3B to go pick them up.

Did you guys know that the idea of aliens being directed to earth by that sat was the premise of L. Ron Hubbard's, the founder of the cult Scientology, plot of 'Battlefield Earth' the novel?

The movie made from this is a close runner up to the worst sci fi movie ever made 'Plan Nine from Outer Space'.

[Chibbity]

I might be completely alone here but...

Battlefield Earth was OK. Not great but....alright.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for John Travolta?

That movie was the embodiment of truth for us all. It was the most honorable film of our time. All should appreciate it, and the great depiction of the real world.

What would the Kerbals do if they found the maps... the possiblities are horrifying.

[Tarka]

How can you possibly worry about a few maps on a probe? What about a century's worth of radio broadcasts and several decades of TV that are blooming out from the earth at the speed of light?

No advanced aliens could possibly miss all that. Nor fail to figure out a way to calculate the location of the signal source.

If we wanted to avoid been found by aliens then action would need to have been taken a century ago. No way they can miss us now.

[Chibbity]

Actually there is theoretically a very small window in any given species development where they would use and/or be interested in radio signals. (Unless they were actively looking for less advanced species.)

Eventually they wouldn't use radio signals for anything and so wouldn't notice any errant broadcasts floating by. We ourselves already use radio waves way less than we used to, some day we won't use them at all.

(Also light speed is pretty slow in the grand scheme of things, by the time our broadcasts reached them and they sent a response or came to find us, either they or us would likely be extinct.)

Anyways the odds of them understanding what we wrote on some space tablet's are pretty low. Doubly so that they'd take any interest even if they did. We don't have anything anybody would want here on Earth. Every resource (besides humans themselves) can be found in more abundance and with greater ease literally everywhere in the universe.
