So I have this app on my iPad called Exoplanets. Keeping in mind what a geek I am when it comes to space and interstellar travel, I figured this would be a perfectly awesome app to have.

I didn't know at the time, but it sends messages as well. This morning, my iPad made a little message beep. I picked it up and looked at it, and it said:

"A new extrasolar planet has been discovered! HIP 57050 b"

Fucking Star Trek again. Set course, warp 5. ENGAGE!

Random thought that popped into my head: Interstellar graffiti.

I imagine a UFO etching messages into the surface of a planet with a powerful high-precision laser, not unlike Chairface trying to write his name on the moon.

They could pick any nearby planet or asteroid and etch something like "HUMANS R FAGS" on it, so there it is, in plain sight for anyone who has a telescope.

What are we going to do about it? Nothin'.
