Can Any of These Exoplanets Actually Hear Us?

now THIS could get interesting.

So we have heard from NASA and their big announcement except the exoplanet is 1,400 light years away.  Here is some more perspective on the finding and in what context it’s potential significance:

Today, NASA announced Kepler has identified 500 more possible planets, bringing the total to 4,175. And one newly discovered exoplanet, Kepler 452b, may be the most Earth-like ever.

That’s great and all, but still…kind of meaningless. We know of these planets now, but a more interesting question is: Could any of them really harbor life?

Let’s say we do make contact is that a good thing?  Should we continue to examine exoplanets and attempt to make contact or should we mind our ps and qs?  There are actually many scientists on both sides of the arguement.  I guess we won’t know if it is a good or bad idea until contact would be made right?

Let’s find out more and check out a video on exoplanets on the next page

    Baby steps.We first need to see if anyones home.call S.E.T.E. And have them aim all satellites dishes at the planet for a few months.

    If they really want to get the message through all they have to do is use a laser and aim it where we want it has to be a very large laser but it’s not impossible

    This is why it bothers me when scientists say “we’ve looked and we don’t see any signs of intelligence anywhere else in the galaxy, so where is everyone?”
    Well maybe all of the technology that we might be able to see is young enough that it hadn’t had time to reach us. This could mean it’s less than 1000 years old or it’s less than 100,000 years old or older depending on where in the galaxy they may happen to be.
