 Ever feel that Twitter, Facebook and tumblr just don’t have the reach you were after? That social media is just too, I don’t know … terrestrial? 
 
 Well, a new company says it will start firing your tweet-length messages and more at distant galactic entities starting tomorrow. First up is Gliese 526, a red dwarf star 17.6 light years away. It may or may not have planets but odds are it does, though civilized plants are a whole other matter. 
 
 Nevertheless, the startup project Lone Signal is planning to retrofit the Jamesburg Earth Station radio dish in Carmel, Calif., to beam a steady signal carrying technical data that will identify Earth and show its inhabitants are smart enough to do so in math. 
 
 Piggybacking on that main signal will be a secondary one carrying messages from Earthlings. It’s unclear what that will show aliens … 
 
 The Jamesburg station is currently still listed for sale at $1.5 million, but the real estate company listing it said there is a contract on the station but the deal just hasn’t closed yet. 
 
 Long shot 
 
 Since Gliese 526 is 17.6 light years from Earth, the messages will be beamed to the coordinates of where the star will be in 17.6 years from now. 
 
 Lone Signal won’t just send out blips of data, the company’s chief science officer, Jacob Haqq-Misra, told The Guardian Express. 
 
 It will also continuously transmit content from cultures around the world. The messages that the company will broadcast will be directed toward a different star system roughly once a month. Haqq-Misra explains that radio signals are the fastest and most sufficient delivery method of messages for long distances. He hopes, the Guardian reports, to “inspire a lot of passion in the space sciences and get people thinking about their role in the greater universe.” 
 
 And, of course, the chances of any life sophisticated enough to notice the signal and reply are pretty darn slim. Not to mention that any conversation will take dozens of years between send and receive. 
 
 What happens when aliens answer back? 
 
 The broader effort to reach out to aliens is called METI (Messaging to Extraterrestrial Intelligence) or Active SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). 
 
 And, not everyone is happy about beaming our address into space where who-knows-what can hear it and send a reactionary squad of murders to check us out. 
 
 “And indeed … the larger issue here is that Haqq-Misra and his colleagues are acting completely unilaterally,” writes io9, a space science journal. 
 
 No one has given them permission to do this, nor have they consulted the larger community. In all likelihood, our messages will never reach the ears of an alien civilization ... But it’s the shouting out in the cosmos aspect that’s the real issue here. We simply do not know the risks. Consequently, we should take great care when embarking upon projects such as this. Like Brin has suggested, this should be the part of a much broader conversation, and not some silly exercise intended to make a bit of money.

 How it’s supposed to work? 
 
 As of this afternoon, you can signup to get an email for when the site is fully operational, which is supposed to be tomorrow – June 18. You can check out their trippy promo video, but that’s about it right now. 
 
 In its story on the METI effort, Universe Today reported how the company plans to let you send messages and more: 
 
 Share Beams / Track Beams – Once signed in, users can see how far their beam has traveled from Earth as well as share it with the beaming community. 
 
 Dedicate Beams – Parents, friends and loved ones can dedicate a beam to others. 
 
 Explore – The Explore section gives beamers current data on the Lone Signal beam, who is sending messages, from where on Earth, overall stats, etc. 
 
 Blog / Twitter – Via their blog and Twitter, the Lone Signal science team and other contributors will be posting opinion articles on associated topics of interest as well as sharing the latest science news and updates. 
 
 You’ll get one free message and then you can pay for more, such as longer messages as well as images.

– As of today, you can fire off a tweet-length message to a far-flung solar system, but you'll need patience—it won't get there for about 18 years, and it will take just as long to receive any extra-terrestrial response. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer explains, a start-up called Lone Signal has begun sending submitted text messages in all languages to the Gliese 526 solar system. The first one is free, and then a group of four will set you back 99 cents, reports CNNMoney. The company is making use of the Jamesburg Earth Station in California's Carmel Valley to send the messages, and it hopes to expand its operations in the coming years to every hemisphere. Along with the text messages, the company is sending up missives written in binary code that explain our understanding of physics. Also fair game? Animated GIFs, and the Verge has a peek at the first one going up—of a guy scratching his ear.
