Mars
Probe And Blogosphere: Talking To Aliens
 By
John Stith
NASA launched their Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on Friday morning after a few
delays earlier in the week. Coinciding with that launch was MindComet's first
launch of thousands of SpacePost messages aimed at promoting intergalactic peace
and communication.
According to MindComet, BloginSpace has been compiling blogs and posts since July
19th and have accumulate over 2,700 messages for transmission in less than a month.
The Deep Space Communications Network will transmit those messages although apparently,
some controversy occurred over content regarding extraterrestrial communication
protocols and the possibilities of intergalactic war because the messages were
uncensored. Mars Probe and Blogosphere: Talking To Aliens
"We are aware of extraterrestrial communication protocols and because of
this encouraged bloggers to not use offensive language," commented Ted Murphy,
President and CEO of MindComet. "We don't anticipate the blogs to create intergalactic
warfare, and we were excited to be able to launch today in coordination with Atlas
V." Murphy says MindComet continues to support intergalactic free speech, as they
have since the launch of BloginSpace.com and Space Post messaging.
There are two galactic transmission services provided by MindComet. The first,
BloginSpace allows users to run a blog, transmitted at regular intervals, into
the interstellar expanse. SpacePost is for folks merely wishing to send one message,
perhaps to catch up with an old friend or relative living out in Alpha Centauri.
BloginSpace is still open for transmission and they say Friday's launch marks
the first of many transmissions planned for the coming months. The next one is
planned for Sept. 12th. MindComet says BloginSpace generates 40,000 unique sessions
daily.
