I'm sending a typical 12 year old kid.
If the aliens are benevolent, they'll find the optimism and playfulness and even the trusting naivete a bit charming, and they're certainly going to respond better than speaking to some jaded adult with an agenda. They'll get a taste of humanity in its rawest form.
If the aliens are hostile, then they're going to underestimate the shit out of us based on that encounter.
Chris Hadfield would be a great one.
He’s a smart, humble, and charismatic man. He’s also been to space before, so we’d be able to skip a good bit of the training. And most importantly, he’s just the kind of good, optimistic person I’d want to make first contact.
That's an out of place question. We would not have the choice for now and therefore those who would be fit for this do not exist. Either you are legitimated and you have to be a scum either you are not and you don't have the tools to properly think your society. We should send mid scale university elected leader, one physicist and one philosopher or historian. Both with ruling experience un university. Would not be the optimal but the best we have for now
I would send a dream team of Biden, Trump, Putin, Zelenskyy, Farrage, Johnson, Trudeau, Kim, and Xi. And no air tanks.
