What if we find life on another planet?  What will we do next?   Science fiction writer Orson Scott Card has thought extensively about the politics and ethics of first contacts.  His award-winning classic, "Ender's Game" lays out a few possibilities.  He's just published a new addition to the Ender series.  Steve Paulson takes the opportunity to ask him how he'd respond to news of the discovery of an alien civilization.
