I thought this whole thing was some kind of early April Fool's joke, but now
this! What do you mean "not equipped for alien contact." (maybe you have been
reading too much science fiction) I didn't know that our government or space
program even had any "rules" for alien contact, much less that they have
special "equipped for alien contact" shuttles!

Don't you think that they would seek out some more intelligent examples of our
species?

Like I said, why not some more intelligent examples of our species (or maybe
they communicate by reading lips! :-)?
