OK, I'm at work, it's a little slow, thought I'd toss this question out to you gung ho mofos. I am not naive enough to believe that we-humans-are unique to the universe. There's gotta be something/someone else out there, somewhere. So here's the question/situation:
You're out camping and/or hunting, and a UFO lands nearby. You grab your favorite protection piece and go to investigate. When you get there, a life form is exiting the craft. Do you A) Try to be the "peace delegate" and make contact?
OR
B) Blow it away, take pictures, sell 'em, become rich, and possibly be the catalyst that starts interplanetary war?
Will it make a difference if the ET looks human or somewhat human, or looks like a T-Rex- toothed slug that escaped from the set of Men in Black?
My answer: If it appears somewhat human and unarmed, make contact. If it looks something like the alien in "Alien", I'm opening up.
And, no, I don't know where you can get a bag of that shit.

I'd think you could get MUCH more money exploiting their technology then you could taking pictures that the government will probably suppress anyway.

Just doing my part for intergalactic diplomacy.

I say...I will make a business deal with that alien. Get him sign on the dotted line that I will have full marquetting right and trademark....then start selling tickets.

Voyage to the moon and back in an alien spaceship.
