May I ask you, what government type would you hope this centralized system
would utilize?

That's something for a think tank or two, or more, to delve into, and
come up with a solution for. All I know is that we, as a planet, must
get beyond our petty differences, and unite as a global body. The
leadership in such an undertaking, as I understand it, is comprised of
representatives from each nation on the planet, and I think they take
turns leading versus supporting so every one gets a turn at leading.

Great!  When it's Iran's turn, what will I do when they
shut off my G-mail like they did in their OWN country?

It's only my assumption that the "extra terrestrials" have made
contact. If the information is kept secret among a select few people,
who from one administration to the next keep it in sworn confidence, I
don't think it is something that woud be leaked, not if it is given
the highest priority for secrecy.

That's believable.  That every country on the planet can keep
a secret over decades.  Are you high?  They couldn't even keep
secret the fact that Clinton got his dick sucked at the white house.

My understanding is that this type of thing, global unification, goes
on across our universe, with one planet after another, globally
uniting.

And how do you know this in the face of what you said earlier
about governments keeping secrets?  You are a naive fool.

AND a liar.

So as goof ballish as many people are about UFO sightings, and alien,
or extra terrestrial contact, for example all the tounge in cheek
jokes about area 51 and aliens,

I've never heard that joke, please tell it.

Is it like, "Two aliens walk into a bar in Rosswell"?

which comes to mind, eventually, we
need some cold, hard facts to substantiate their existence.

BWAhahahahahaha!!!  No shit, Sherlock!

Next, we
need to make contact with a mentoring civilization. For that, it would
help if we had radio telecommunications technologies that could
instantaneously transmit a signal to any part of the universe and
recieve signals instantaneously from any part, as well. Developing
this technology would be a good first step towards making contact with
others in our universe.

LOL!!!  Are you 12 ?

Not to sound as if I'm griping, but it's a waste of money, nearly, to
put people on a space platform, and shuttle them back and forth. I'm
not up on what is going on with research projects in the space lab,
but it is for the most part carried out for the vested interests of
the parties concerned, i.e., they want to make a profit out of their
investment, and not much thought is given to "human kinds" better
interests.

IMO, our governments' monies would be better spent expanding the
boundaries of telecommunication science until we come up with the
science and a solution for instantaneously talking with folks in any
part of our universe.

Ya.... Good idea.  There IS that pesky little problem of light speed tho.

This is off topic, but further, IMO, in this day of transparency, a
public accounting should be made of all the monies spent on the space
shuttle program, as well as the space lab program and all other
governmental scientific projects, and it should all be made public on
the internet, and it should list who is doing what and for what
purpose, and what are the plans for future utilization of taxpayers'
monies.

NASA's buget is freely available to anyone that wants to see it.

From the viewpoint of our extra terrestrial neighbors, if we haven't
got the sense to realize we're possibly wasting our time and money for
vested interest groups shuttling people back and forth to a space lab,
and spending who knows how much to maintain the thing, while we can't
even figure out the science for telecommunication across the vast
reaches of space, we must look like real idiots to them, IMHO.

OR, they just have to read your posts to come to the same conclusion.
