Forever [not] Alone

Just another reminder, as the Earth spins through the void and orbits around the Sun that we are not alone in this little corner of the universe. There's lots of "stuff" out there, just waiting to be discovered. Wouldn't this be a cool place to leave some kind of time capsule, a la Michigan J. Frog? I feel a short story coming on. Or at least a re-read of "The Little Prince."
