Helman, former US Ambassador to the UN Geneva and Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs. Scientists from NASA's Planetary Science Division & Penn State University have authored a (pdf) that analyzes various ' First Contact' scenarios with an intelligent alien species. The report goes through various approaches to, interstellar communication, the possible effects to Earth & humanity, as well as the possible reaction of an alien civilization to human societies. The paper is highly speculative, and there's no sign that there's any threat from a fleet of appearing in orbit anytime soon ( although, according to Paul Krugman an might actually help us get out of the economic slump). So I thought I might have some late-night fun & go through some of the paper's arguments while mixing it with some of the better known TV shows, video games & movies in science fiction.
