Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking caused a bit a of buzz last week when he warned that we shouldn't attempt to contact aliens because the outcome probably wouldn't be good (for us, anyway). But once again, Neil deGrasse Tyson is a voice of reason about the whole thing.

I would think we'd be hostile if we found life on another planet too.  We're getting quite good at invasions.  :(
