In celebration of SETI's 50th anniversary 5000 messages will be sent off in to space in the hope of being picked up by aliens.
The event is being organised by Penguin UK and National Science and Engineering Week, the messages of up to 40 words will be fired up using a radio telescope and can contain anything including greetings, confessions or warnings.
If you had the chance to send a message into space, what would it say? "Greetings, fellow sentient beings"? "We come in peace"? "Hi… we've kind of messed up our planet, and we wondered if by chance anyone out there had a spare one?"
