From the Nation of Heaven:

This was an excellent conference. I will may be contacting U to address some of our issues and proposed solutions. "We" do not want a planetary nation..."we" want a UN recognized "space state." I am very familiar with many of the issues you discussed and will proceed appropriately. What was not discussed concerns me, though. What you did not discuss was trying to communicate with potential and actual life forms. "We don't want a war w/aliens over trespass rights."
