JAKARTA - The search for life in outer space continues despite physicist Stephen Hawking's warnings to be more careful. According to him, even if there were aliens, they would not necessarily be friendly to humans.

Reporting from SputnikNews, a number of scientists are preparing a new message for aliens. The message includes a wealth of mathematical and biological data about humans, with the effort being led by Jonathan Jiang of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

This message contains mathematical equations and human DNA sequences. Previously, scientists had also sent the first message sent into space in 1974. The message contained binary code and images of the Solar System.

The new data appears to be much more complicated, with one of the slides provided by Jiang even showing images of a male and female human, along with an illustration showing the location of the Solar System.

The message is 13 pages long and is called “Beacon in the Galaxy.” It will be sent into space even though many critics have echoed warnings from the late professor Stephen Hawking, who was not an active fan of contacting aliens.

"If you look at history, contact between humans and less intelligent organisms has often been disastrous from their point of view, and the encounter between civilizations with advanced versus primitive technologies has been bad for the less advanced," he said in 2015.

However, NASA itself has another picture of aliens, if there were, they would be friendly and try to connect the intergalactic conversation. In order for the plan to work as hoped, the scientists included a return address so the aliens could find the Earth where humans live and build civilization.
