"Contact," "Star Trek," "Babylon
5," "Star Wars," "Alien," and the rest of the lot
have one thing in common. They all deal with alien civilizations and their
relationships to humans. Some of these futuristic fictions portray alien
life as friendly, some as hostile. Most of the aliens are curiously "humanoid."

could be learned and discovered about each other. What are we doing right
now to make this happen?
