Mexico's Teotihuacan, once the center of a sprawling pre-Hispanic empire, is set to become the launch pad for an attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial life.
Starting on Tuesday, enthusiasts from around the world will have a chance to submit text, images, video and sounds that reflect human nature to be included in the message.
I actually agree with the SETI Institute's Seth Shostak on what we should transmit to potential ET civilizations: Send the whole Internet. No more picking and choosing. No more putting on a good face for an intelligence that, in all probability, already knows damned well what we're really like. Maybe by seriously facing the prospect of others we'll finally achieve the nerve to face ourselves.
