Article slates it is possible that contact will be made in the relatively near fu-
ture with extrate1 rest rial btelligences and that this contact may occur as a
sbip to ship meeting in Interplanf.tary space. Earth's crews should be briefed
to take nC' possible acticn that could be deemed hostile and to take defensive
measures only in the last resort for sell-preservation. An effort should be
made to determine whether it is possible to develop messages suitable for ini-
tial contact with an alien intelligenct.

Communication with an extraterrestrial being through a psychic med.i.um has
caused Oberth to a:iopt th~s view: there is a soul which outlives the body; this
world serves as a training-ground for the soul; the soul will c1..11.tinue life (on
~ planet where conditions are in ker:ping with its degree of development) after
death.

an informal discussion. In Cameron, A. G. W., ed. Interstellar communica-
tion. New York, W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1963. p. 287-293.
From consideration of the prospects for existence of other societies in our
galaxy and the problems involved in establishing communication with them, it
is concluded that, if the more optimistic values of communicative lifetime are
chosen, the number of civilizations becomes 105 to 109 and the distance of the
nearest civilization is estimated at ten to a few hundred light-years.
