Is anybody out there? - ask Bebo users

Do you remember the days when time capsules were buried by primary school pupils so that children in the future could learn all about how children lived in the past? I remember donating a lego toy, which would probably be quite an eye opener to modern kids as it’s not a character from a film or sponsored in anyway. (little dig at Lego)

Well now kids are sending messages to Aliens on Gliese 581c. Apparently it won’t arrive until 2029, so it must be pretty far away. You can watch the video on the Bebo site and find out more about the project.

Even though it was created by a kids social networking site it has the potential to cause some controversy. George W Bush is shown as a presentation of evil and Barack Obama illustrates goodness. I guess this depends on your political view point!

What a load of tosh!

A digital message from Gillian Anderson, Hillary Clinton and Richard & Judy.

If that doesn't make me want to take the several million lightyear journey to earth, I don't know what will.

Jeez, if these guys where down at the Arndale Centre I'd be pushed to leave my desk for a look!

I'd go and see Gillian Anderson.
