Recently Voyager 2 (a few years from exiting our suns heliosphere) began transmitting data back in an illegible format, causing NASA to send it to a mode that only transmits it's current status since the scientific data is useless. I'm a realist, I know there is a 99% chance that a 33 year old satellite millions of miles from Earth may malfunction but still... I really hope we may be approaching first contact during my lifetime. :p

It made me wonder though, if aliens do land on Earth who would be the ideal person to speak with them first (humor me by assuming the aliens know how to communicate with us).

In a serious mood I would vote for the Dalai Lama because I think such a peaceful, serene and happy person would make a healthy first impression and he probably wouldn't be affected by xenophobia.

In a comedic mode I would vote for Chuck Norris. As Earth's greatest champion he would terrify them into immediate surrender, roundhouse them if they got mouthy and bring back all their deadliest weaponry for Earth to use on our campaign to colonize (read as destroy) other planets.

Who would you vote for, seriously and in jest?

Sidenote - If this topic is not search bar approved I will take my newb lashing and never repeat the mistake again.

Serious: Stephen Fry.

In jest: Myself, wearing electric-orange boxer shorts wielding a croquet mallet and a copy of David Copperfield.

He'd have to be strong yet reasonable and capable of seeing their side of the argument. He'd also have to be fairly intelligent when it came to technology, but also wary of its inherent danger in the wrong hands. He'd also have to be able to speak coherently and trust the other side, but not enough to turn his back.

Basically... no one is perfect for this job. Not unless we genetically engineered them to be. So I nominate one of them glow in the dark monkeys Japan has been making as they are the closest thing we have to a perfect emissary.

Seriously though? I nominate... Ronald Reagan. He did a pretty good job during the Cold War, I say we bring him back to life.

Still joking am I? Fine! I nominate Henry Kissinger. There. Happy?

How come no-one's mentioned Stephen Fry?

But I think Sarah Palin would be the best jest, who the hell is going to consider us a threat if she was nearly America's leader?

It depends. If the aliens were partiers, I'd send up Hugh Hefner. If they were people who enjoyed entertainment, I'd send up Gabe Newell. If they were more serious but still had a sense of humor, I'd send up Jon Stewart.

Why not just send all of these people, and Chuck Norris, together as one big emissary group?

Definitely not Dalai Lama.

I don't know, any person would do. Those aliens would have to be pretty damn stupid to expect us to have one person represent us all, considering how many countries and factions we currently have, not to mention languages, cultures, religion along with other useless shit.

Definitely someone with a scientific mind. While a lot of other people obviously come to mind, I could settle on a youtube vlogger Thunderf00t. Or some deep science fiction writer, although not one of the action soft science fiction hack jobs.

Stephen Harper. If the aliens don't destroy his robot ass, then they won't destroy the entire human race.
