14. How would we talk to aliens? Are we trying to find and communicate with aliens now? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Yes, we are trying to find aliens now using radio telescopes. These telescopes are like big ears. They listen for radio signals that are from outer space. We do have some instructions on what to do if we ever hear an alien radio signal. These instructions include who to contact, how to verify the signal and what we should do initially. Not surprisingly, we would not answer them back immediately until all of the countries agreed on what should be said. The spaceships Voyagers and Pioneers carry special disks that show pictures of humans and where we come from—Earth. The disks also carry greetings in over a hundred different languages. The idea is if an extraterrestrial finds the disks they could learn a little bit about us
