Let's say we encounter alien life. They orbit the planet and ask us to send them one human to represent humanity. Who do you think we should send? A world leader? Smartest man?
Personally, I think it should be either Stephen Hawking, or Michio Kaku. Who would you send?

Send Shepard. He'll "get to know" them fairly quickly, heh...
