Sending Tweets to Aliens

Is there something or Someone out there who is really listening to us? Does anyone care beyond our little planet? Apparently, a group of techies and scientists think so—although they aren't trying to contact God. Instead, they're sending tweets to aliens. CNN Money reports that a company called Lone Signal is using a formerly abandoned space station to send tweets into outer space. The first tweet is free, but the next tweets will cost you 99 cents for a bundle of four. According to the article, this group of alien tweeters includes an astrophysicist, a business executive, and an astrobiologist.

Possible Preaching Angle:

There is a longing in the human heart for a sense of belonging and understanding our place in the vast universe. Is there someone out there who can explain all of this to us, who might have an answer to our need for meaning.
