China's Giant Radio Telescope Will Start Searching For Aliens In September - Engadget

If the People's Republic of China, god forbid, makes first contact, hopefully the aliens will drive their tanks all over their Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope. Snark aside, Jon Fingas has a sharp outline of Red China's methods and goals. Maybe aliens will be right next door as Paul Gilster dishes the details on Confirming Proxima b where one astronomer dug through mountains of old data to confirm something new to humanity. With the jÅ­taposition of those two tidbits, it's important to lend Brent Swancer your ear as he considers the concept of first contact and the thorny question, Would Aliens Be Robots? Set aside some time to absorb his thesis, consider the arguments and counterarguments, and call your woo-woo friends to discuss the possibility as Brent continues to outdo himself at Mysterious Universe.
