#222 / Earth To Space



I learned on August 1st that there is an "Earth Station" located in Carmel Valley, California, and that thousands of human beings around the world are using that Earth Station to beam messages into space. 

Those operating the Earth Station have aimed it at planets that are most likely to have extraterrestrial intelligent life.

I guess that is alright. It's free. If you want to send a message of your own, you can click right here. Thousands of messages are beamed into space every Tuesday and Wednesday.

Again, I guess I don't have any great objection to people sending messages into space. However, I think our time would be better spent communicating with other people right here on our own planet!
