Jessica- I was listening to NPR's This American Life and in a recent episode they discuss the idea of "first contact" with aliens. In the episode they interview a man who runs a task force that is entirely devoted to what to say to aliens should we ever create contact with them. His name is Paul Davies and his website talks about is work, books, and research.

The NPR story continues to discuss a social networking site that sends peoples' messages into space, presumably for aliens. The link to the episode page is below:
