It discovers obvious evidence of life going on on some far distant planet?

If it does, and there’s an obvious possibility that it could, then what do we as a species do?

Personally, I think we need to be very, very careful!

I’m all for knowing that there is something else out there and I think it’s impossible that there isn’t life on other planets, the numbers of Sun’s and planets makes it highly likely that Earth’s conditions are replicated elsewhere.

But......I’m happy just to know, I don’t think we should be waving and saying “Yoo Hoo” to Aliens.

I’d rather we just stayed in our own little corner of the Universe and kept our heads down.

I must admit, I am greatly looking forward to seeing the photographs that start coming back from this magnificent piece of human ingenuity.
