In November of 1974,
a small group from S.E.T.I. -
:19:08
Search for Extraterrestrial
lntelligence -
:19:13
sent out a message
to whoever might be listening.
:19:17
They sent
about 0.25 of a kilobyte,
:19:20
including structure
of human DNA,
:19:23
map of our solar system,
:19:25
population of the earth,
helpful facts like that.
:19:29
In January of 1993,
:19:31
they received a message back
:19:34
from an extraterrestrial
unknown source.
:19:39
That's great.
:19:41
Intelligent life
beyond this planet?
:19:44
Yes.
:19:45
There were two communications.
:19:48
The first was
a superior catalyst for methane.
:19:52
We can now produce
an infinite amount of energy
:19:56
from this clean fuel.
:19:58
This convinced us this was
a friendly intelligence.
