        @neiltyson Ah, but wouldn't they then be extra-extraterrestrials, or has someone already pointed that out? maybe change aliens to earthlings

        @neiltyson you should probably reconsider your approach to inviting guests, don't invite too many, make sure they are clear on +1s, etc.

        @neiltyson they are extraterrestrials unfamiliar with our etiquette so you should make sure to be clear in your invitiations
