Would you like to be the one that makes first contact?

You bet
It is one of the dreams I would love to see come true
in my lifetime when we make contact with life outside
of Earth.
Of course in the ideal world I would love to be that
person that meets the aliens for that initial greeting,
even if they do blast me LOL
But I am betting any race that can reach us won't be
hostile. It's only in the movies and TV that we have
this idea of what aliens are going to be like.
I am quite aware this is a dead post from over twenty years ago. It is
still an interesting question.

There was a period in my life where I had an opportunity to apply to the
astronaut corps. It was a serious contemplation until I found out that
they swallow their toothpaste while brushing their teeth. Yes, that was
my breaking point. As time went on, there were other things on the
realities of the job that doesn't appeal to me.

Then the question arises about dreams of first contact. Would I want to
be the one contacting an alien race? Nope, I'll be happy enough reading
about it in the paper.

What say yalls?

A couple of years ago I was advised by my Dentist to do this (swallow
used toothpaste). She may have been suggesting (politely!!) that I
should be using a mouth-wash!! ;-P

No, definitely not. I don't think any possible first contact is going to
be pleasant for the humans.
