I agree with Mr. Bittick in the fact that we need to start researching better ways of getting to the stars first. However, with all the hoopla about being visited by aliens it dawns on me that they may not wish to communicate with us untill we get our own planet straight.
I mean think about it, You're an advanced civilization watching what looks like a planet full of monkeys run around killing themselves. What we see as everyday life they can see as an ifectious species.
I have no doubt that they will call upon us in the future but it won't be untill we get our s**t straightened out. So let's put our funding and research to good uses and get us up to the stars. In the mean time I think we need to try and get along quite a bit better before thinking about communicating with an advanced civilization.
