what messgae would you send into space?

Question

okay ive been asked to give a brief description of a message tat i would like to send into space, the only problem is i dunno what to wtite!! :S has anyone got any ideas?

Answer 1

would you like a cup of tea, can i sing to you?

Answer 2

You should send 2 messages.



1. Firstly a mathematical message in order to catch there attention, detailing Prime Numbers:



2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, Why?, There is no naturally occurring prime number generator. An Alien race would know for certain the message is from a life form.



2. Second message, much more details such as how many planets our system has, our location being 3rd from the sun, population of the earth, a brief description of our evolutionary path, greetings in all languages, songs from the Whales and some music, being The Earths Greatest Hits!



The list is endless,

Answer 3

okay.... if i were to send a 'greeting' card to aliens, first thing i would include is the position of the earth. the second, i would include human figures, (both male and female), third, i would include some pictures of the earth's surface, pictures of flora and fauna, and the cities. fourth, i would include sound clips, from various aspects of life, like a baby crying, people talking, birds chirping, etc. last but not the least, i would provide an instruction module, which can play instructions on how to operate the greeting card.

but the thing is..... i cant get this greeting card in any of the galleries...

not a bad question though....

Answer 4

Well, two thoughts....



First - why advertise we have a planet full of life & resources...? That could be dangerous - even if our message is received by kind, friendly beings - they could inadvertently bring diseases we'd have no cures for. And, if they ARE hostile - just by arriving here, they would've already shown technology more advanced than ours.



Second - if we knew it was safe to say, "hi"....

Well, probably what they did with the Arecibo dish in Puerto Rico in the 60's - a group of prime numbers, and a binary code that, when stacked properly, shows a picture of a man waving, our planet location in our solar system, and a strand of DNA. I think the wave indicates we're friendly. Here's a link to the message: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_reply

Answer 5

I would ask whoever is listening a question, like we ask here on Yahoo Answers. The question would be...



How did your species overcome the intelligent parasite that developed on your planet between your industrial revolution and the beginning of interplanetary colonization?



Additional Details:

We are having trouble with such a parasite at present, and we could use any advice you can give us!

Answer 6

"The human civilization of the planet Earth, third planet from a yellow star called Sol, bids you greetings."



But then again we've been sending messages out into space since radio.
