I thought this was a nice touch.  The NASA LCROSS mission that crashed into the moon (in order to see if water could be detected in the impact ejecta) sent a twitter feed as it approached the moon.

“And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round,
4:34 AM Oct 9th from web

it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'!”
4:34 AM Oct 9th from web

“That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me?”

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying.
There is an art, it says, or rather a knack to flying.
The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Pick a nice day, it suggests, and try it.

". . . We realised we had been myopically shortsighted to think this thing was just an adding machine. . . . So we began to develop it as a super typewriter. With a long and increasingly incomprehensible feature list. Users of Microsoft Word will know what I'm talking about."

I have wondered if any intelligent alien beings happened to be monitoring the LCROSS mission and just what they thought about that last message.

I don't think they would be vary willing to talk to who ever sent it.

What is the point to life? If you think about it, all life has to do with is love, isn’t that why God made us. True life and love are two different things but in a way they are the same. So if your looking for the point of your life then your really looking for the love of your life.
