Man should try to avoid contact with alien life forms
This is the headline of an article that appeared in the newspaper more than a decade ago in which astrophysicist Stephen Hawking made a statement. The article mentioned his concern about the possibility of the Earth being colonized by an unknown virus or aliens, but when I saw the headline, I immediately thought, “Yes, we have a lot to do on Earth before we meet the aliens!” Before heading off to outer space, we need to get in touch with the people and living things around us on this planet. We should not just follow new things with blind faith, but also have the courage to stand firm and look back.
