Uh, yeah... Sorry about that. Multitasking at the office...

Edit: the post is new enough that I was able to correct the title...

Always thought putting that message on Pioneer 10 was a really silly thing to do.

"Hi... we are puny, tiny earthlings with no weapons. What a great planet we have. Here is our exact location, so come and get us. Thanks, byee".

In one of the Start Trek movies I think the Klingons shoot Pioneer 10 for target practice.

So we should be safe.

It's going to take 2 million years for Pioneer 10 to reach the next star, so unless something is wandering aroud Pluto, this planet probably won't be here by the time Pioneer 10 is located.
