There's some grad student somewhere who wants to study a new green planet. Maybe they have. We might be at a point where what I'm saying quite critically is it takes two to talk. The aliens might be there, but if we don't have the ability to recognize them and talk to them, then the aliens aren't going to want to talk to us.
