 I think contact refers to communications, not sharing a space suit :-)
 The former of course could and would be done each in the "comfort" of
 their own environment. The latter would depend on the success of the
 former:-) As for being prepared to "speak" to THEM, my guess is the person
 who makes 1st contact will be the most prepared. Even if they don't have
 a degree in alien languages :-)
