Well, I asked whether I would be able to communicate with earthlings using my laptop from Mars, and the answer was "No, not yet, a satellite has to be pointing at Mars and it has to beam the answer back to earth".
So, I hope some telecom vendor is working on communications between all the 169 moons in our Solar System.

there's a everyday rule progressed by way of the Grand Confederation of Worlds that declares touch can't be made till a planet has been conflict-loose for a minimum of 500 years and all strains of tribalism/nationalism have disappeared. approximately 2/3 of candidate civilizations do no longer proceed to exist this era, the two lapsing into barbarity or extinguishing themselves outright. The exception is the form of area holiday. Immature colonies would be quietly extinguished in the event that they teach any indicators of violence. Conditionally, we are drawing close the ripening component yet a lot can pass incorrect. If we behave ourselves, we are going to be a probational member interior of 800 years.

The question: How should humans on Earth contact beings of another habitable planet?
The answer: By constructing very large mathematical displays (only intelligent life could construct) on the surface of planet Earth.
Someone out there is watching the universe just as much as the progressives on Earth are doing. Lets give them something to see. Build it now, and they might see it in 100 years.

Well, we try. We send out messages from radio telescope transmitters. The various exploratory systems that have left earth's gravity field and are not intended to land on another planet or moon have a message plaque with information about us. Also, our broadcasts from past years have been beamed into space, and if someone has a strong enough receiver and the right wavelength, that being just may pick it up.

Gliese 581C is over 20 light years away and in close (and therefore tidally locked) orbit with its red dwarf star.
Even if we send some kind of message today, it will take 20 years to reach that world and another 20 years to receive some kind of response. Assuming there is any intelligent life on a world with only one side facing its star on a world 5 times the mass of the Earth.

We been sending out stuff since the radio came on line. Everything that we broadcast and transmit goes into space and can be picked up with the right equipment by aliens.

If humans could meet an alien lifeform in person do you think we even have the senses to communicate? If life evolved in two completely different worlds how could we ever communicate? Perhaps the life is so profoundly different that we wouldn't even recognize it if it walked (or the equivilant) right in front of us...

The SETI institute is trying to listen for radio signals from aliens. So far none has been detected.
