I enjoyed reading about your project. I am wondering if in the section on Planetary Defense you include the possibility of contact with beings not originating from Earth and the effective responses to such encounters. antrapriede@cox.net
Hi Antra, thank you for your question! Yes, we certainly consider the possibility of contact with extraterrestrial lifeforms, as well as policies on how to respond effectively to such an encounter, to fall within the scope of Planetary Defense. This is an area that we will be exploring more in coming months, although it is not one of our highest priorities.
