NASA Had This To Say When Asked “What If We Encounter Aliens”

This is what they had to say on the matter:

Has NASA got any guidelines if they were to encounter aliens in space? (Michael Wittemore)

That’s a good question. I don’t know, but I will try to find out and get word to somebody. We probably don’t have guidelines because we don’t realistically think we’re going to encounter somebody like you or me.

We do have guidelines for dealing with microbial life if we find it. In fact, we have guidelines that prevent us from, for example, on Mars getting too close to a place that may be a source of living organisms, because we don’t want to contaminate that area.

    If they don’t have a protocol for if they encounter intelligent life then NASA is run by fucking idiots- Roddenberry had protocol but NASA doesn’t!
