This is a Deep Space Message by Michael Belfiore, author, speaker and Space Show guest. Here is Michael's message: Greetings! You've reached the human civilization in the early 21st century on planet Earth. We're the third planet from our sun on the western spiral arm of the galaxy.... Well, you know where to find us. Now, tell us where you are, and we'll send out a probe to meet you. We regret that we cannot meet you in person yet, unless you come to us...and, well, maybe you'd better hold off on that for the moment. Things are a mess down here. They really are.
