- It doesn't even make sense as a preparedness measure since it's not something we have seen any good chance of happening any time soon.
  I mean sure, SETI finds a signal, then you find the ambassador to make the official response to the beings of the Tau Ceti system.
  Before that, it's like an ambassador to the Yeti population of the Himalayas.

You need to find tiny creatures in immeasurable darkness? Of course you should call the M.Othman!
Should've send Najib Razak instead.
