  小编语:从8月12日起,一家澳大利亚网站可以开始给外星人以短信形式留言(不超过160字),之后它将被转发到葛利斯581恒星,不过值得注意的是,它的发送时间将为接下来的20年中的其中一天,而且不保证你会收到回复。怎么样?would you like to take a chance?
  Hello, ET? Web site sends texts into space 
  HelloFromEarth.net will transmit users’ messages to planet Gliese 581d
  CANBERRA, Australia - An Australian Web site is giving texting an intergalactic touch and allowing users to send short mobile phone-type messages into space.
  From Aug. 12 until Aug. 24, people hankering for an out-of-this-world experience can visit www.HelloFromEarth.net to post messages no longer than 160 characters that will be transmitted to Gliese 581d, the nearest Earth-like planet outside the solar system likely to support life.
  Expected delivery time, however, is some 20 years, the Web site said. And there's no guarantee of a response.
  以下是在HelloFromEarth.net上来自世界各地的一些给外星人的留言:  
  We are but children and still have much to learn; troubled by our fears and suspicions but also elated by our hopes and dreams. We hope you will be our friends.

  If you come to earth look into: music, the beach, ice cream, hugs, family, love, dancing, cheese, trampolines, friendship, books and dreams. Just for a start.

  Hi from Patrick & Emily of Earth. We all wonder if there's life elsewhere in the Universe. But one thing is certain - We're never alone when we have each other.
