"At the time of the moon missions, we used to imagine what would happen if we encountered aliens in space," the American President explained. "Overwhelmingly, we thought a race of aliens would be so far advanced, they had outgrown warfare and were a peaceful race. If we had found you, we would have attempted to get your attention. Yes, some people would call you aliens and fear you, others would worship as gods and enlightened beings, but most would have wanted to exchange knowlege and technology with you in hopes of solving the problems on our own world and forging an alliance where our 2 species could explore the universe together."
