-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Honestly, if we ever got a really credible answer, I'm sure we'd dramatically increase the pace of space travel research, to the point where we might innovate a way to get there. Maybe we do one of the space/time bending options, or maybe we find a way to punch a hole through spacetime or something like that. If there's a will, we'll put a ton of resources into exhausting every potential way to do it before giving up. It might even create multi-national unity in a way that we've never thought possible.

So please, if you're an alien that's been quietly listening to our broadcasts, please send an answer somehow.
