After reading the NPR blog post considering the existence of aliens and the proper way to go about contact with them, I would have to agree with Stephen Hawking. He makes a very valid point that we don't know what they would be like - THEY'RE ALIENS!!. Some may want to think that they will be nice and friendly, but the reality could very well be that they are cruel creatures that have no feelings for our lives. They could just want the resources held on Earth and we cannot take the risk that of that not being the case. Inviting strange creatures that we do not know a thing about is just pleading for an international catastrophe. Has anybody else thought that if these creatures were separated from us, there is probably a very good reason for it. Even though contacting such organisms, if they exist, seems like another leap for mankind, the end result could be the end of mankind. We cannot go about investigating something that is unknown - aren't most people afraid of the unknown anyway? I am.
