      Hi TR-8R (hope you liked the new Star Wars movie!)!

      The first part is a tough question. I would probably name it after someone who has been influential in space research, but only if they agreed. 😉

      What would I do with the alien afterward? Well, that part’s a bit easier for me: I would start a whole range of experiments to characterize it and compare it to what we know about life on Earth.

    Yes the star wars movie was great, and thank you for replying much appreciated. if I was given the chance I would call it Johnson and I would probably keep it a secret only telling friends. Thanks again for replying.
