Scientists want to make contact with Proxima B.

The team is putting together a plan to build or buy a powerful deep-space transmitter, and is now figuring out what our message should be – after all, we don’t want to make a bad first impression…

By 2018, the team wants to have laser or radio signals beamed out to Proxima b, which orbits Proxima Centauri – the closest star to our Solar System, at around 4.25 light-years away.

Part of METI’s work will be to figure out what we should say, and to consider the possibility that other lifeforms will have developed the same mathematical laws and scientific hypotheses that we have.

      ” To figure out what we should say. ”
      The very first message should be; ” Please forgive us for electing Trump. “

    Message: Please don’t kill us, we are a primitive people still trying to get our act together. I know we may seem violent and without hope of ever evolving but please give us some more time and don’t judge us based on what we are doing now. Thanks, those that understand who we really are.
