    ah, the Mars Opposition. I remember those days.. waiting in the trenches on Phobos, shotty at the ready.. the moment I saw that Cyberdemon, I knew I had to get the hell outta Dodge. #mars

    So funny that it was Amherst College that did this. Though considering that we now have an Extraterrestrial Studies course at Hampshire, maybe they should hand us over the reins the next time Mars comes back. #mars

    @GreyHammer: Its the best way to communicate with a race that is determined not to take Global Warming, economic depression and pollution for an answer. Next thing will be giving humanity messages via our iPhones. There really is an app for everything. #mars

    @GreyHammer: Considering how prevalent electromagnetic radiation is across the universe, it's not a crazy assumption. And radio frequencies are a pretty good subset of the spectrum (easy to make, low power, good permeability, etc). Of all of the things we assume other life will be like us, I think this as a mode of long-range communication is a pretty safe assumption. #mars

    Well sure we didn't hear anything. The Martians were only listening as well. Someone should have SAID something. #mars
