NASA to launch naked pictures of humans to space in hope of ‘attracting aliens’

NASA scientists plan to launch pictures of naked humans into space in the hope of luring aliens to us.

The depictions will also include an invitation to respond should an intelligent alien race find the space nudes.

Fortunately, the hypothetical aliens shouldn't be too shocked by the unsolicited nudes.

The pictures aren't graphic photographs of naked humans but a drawing of a naked man and a woman next to a depiction of DNA.

The man and woman are waving in an attempt to look more inviting.

NASA scientists revealed the image in a study that's part of a project called the "Beacon in the Galaxy" (BITG).

The main aim of the BITG project is to send a message to any alien civilizations that could be out there.

Astronomers suggest sending nude humans images into space for aliens

Space agencies should beam messages — including digitized images of naked humans — into space in the hope of luring aliens to Earth, astronomers have suggested.

I know it's the NY Post, but that head-line is just amazingly clickbait. I am in awe of the utter masters of their craft.

Ahh, reverse Mass Effect, I see.

Jokes aside, isn't this exactly what they've already done on the Voyager?

If it will scare them away and keep us from being invaded, I'll volunteer. No one wants to see this.

Ummm...

Leading with nudes is not a turn on.

My friends, please do not follow the advice of...*checks notes*... the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

...oh, fuck me we're hopeless.

This is what we're going end up with. A bunch of Kim Basinger in her 20s look alikes taking over our planet.

So what Sagan originally wanted to do with the Golden Record before the needless censorship
