So, NASA will soon reveal we are not alone in this galaxy. Who do we send forth to represent our species - our keenest politicians, our brightest linguists, our genius physicists or our most knowledgeable anthropologists? (I nominate a mullah, a beekeeper and a drunk Chinaman.)

Send a gay couple so those alien fuckers don't find out how we reproduce.
No no... We send Filthy Frank.

They're probably just going to talk about how they can detect elements in the atmosphere of exoplanets or some shit. Don't get too excited.
Ayyy lmao

Look at the people involved. If it were evidence of extraterrestrial life they'd have more bigshots.
I'd guess its something to do with how we detect exoplanets (e.g. being able to detect smaller ones) given that the technical experts are astronomers and a planetary physicist.
AYY LMAO
A RealDoll.
Send Trump. He either makes the aliens our cucks or dies trying. It's a win-win
bear grylls.
there's no way these aliens are more intelligent than an average labrador

A Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) about exoplanets will be held following the briefing at 3 p.m. with scientists available to answer questions in English and Spanish.
¿Dónde está el baño, por favor?
Do we even have methods to detect atmospheric composition at interstellar distances?
...
The briefing participants are:
>Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington
>Michael Gillon, astronomer at the University of Liege in Belgium
>Sean Carey, manager of NASA's Spitzer Science Center at Caltech/IPAC, Pasadena, California
>Nikole Lewis, astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore
