You can send SMS to aliens until August 24

The Australian website provides the opportunity to send a text message on a space trip. Until August 24, those who are eager to throw their own information footprint in the vast expanses of the universe can visit the page www.HelloFromEarth.net and compose a message of up to 160 characters, which will be sent to Gliese 581d - the nearest similar Earth to the planet outside the Solar System. Expected delivery time is 20 years. Guarantees of the answer, obviously, no one gives.

Project spokeswoman Wilson da Silva explains: “It’s like a message in a bottle, only sent to other worlds. And it’s not even interesting whether someone will accept the message, but what society will want to say to another form of life. Greetings from Earth are our way to show that science makes the impossible possible. ” The project is carried out using the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (NASA) in cooperation with NASA and is part of Australia's National Science Week in Australia, when society celebrates scientific achievements and realizes the importance of science. The first message was left by the Minister of Education and Science Kim Carr (Kim Carr): “Greetings from Australia, located on planet Earth. This message will bring the dreams of our people to the future. We want to share them with you. ” It remains to hope that extraterrestrial civilizations are sufficiently developed to catch the electromagnetic wave, convert it into an English text and, rejoicing at the friendliness of the space neighbors, send an answer.
