Go
on a Bender and Talk to the Aliens: it's SETI in Reverse
Picture the
scene, your starship's crashed on 20th century Earth, your jump-space
relay is screwed, you're 1000 light years from home. Who you gonna
call to get you home? Bentspace, that's who!

For $10, those
crazy dudes at http://www.bentspace.com
will relay the contents of your e-mail directly into deep space
using their high-power transmitter dish system.
Sizzling space
signals, this is SETI in reverse! Said extraterrestrials can also
send a reply, which can be received by Bentspace.
We imagine
you could sell the contents of that one for quite a lot of money
to the National Enquirer.
Bentspace can't
make any promises that your enquires about New York joining the
Galactic Federation will be received, but they have a high confidence
factor that someone - or thing - is listening out there.
The system
is configured to use the Web's normal TCP/IP protocol system to
connect to a wireless Ethernet network run by Bentspace.
Bentspace will
then transform your e-mail into a radio message that's run up a
high-power parabolic transmitter dish and wopped out into deep space.
At the very
worse, your message will probably hit some human settlers who will
have hyper-drived it over to some distant part of the galaxy to
pick up your message in a thousand year's time - a bit like finding
a message in a bottle written by Dickens.
Actually, the
very worse scenario is that your message is received by a technologically
advanced & aggressive civilisation that realises that in a couple
of hundred years a well-armed humanity is going to be trolling up
to their homeworld's doorstep, and decides to make us extinct now.
