Attacked from space
August 30th, 2009 by brettkm
I couldn’t believe my ears. Hearing on the radio that the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Communication Complex outside Canberra, Australia had sent 25,000 text messages to a planet outside our solar system, 20 light years away!
It makes one ponder why they can send that many texts to another planet, yet Telecom struggle to send one text to someone 1m away. But we won’t get into that.
The other morning travelling to work I hear that there was a major earthquake in Wellington that night. Moments later I saw a meteor shooting down from the sky. Apparently never reaching earth but appearing nevertheless to do so. And now I am able to connect the dots…
The life in other planets were sending these natural occurrences to us. Why? Because we’re about to bombard them with 25,000 text messages!! Any bugger would be pissed off having to go through deleting all of them!!
Lets be patient. I’m quite comfortable waiting for these things from other planets to come to us. I see no reason why we should be hurrying up the process. And after being spammed 25,000 times, it may be better they stay right away altogether.
