If aliens do exist, they could one day be lucky enough (or perhaps unlucky enough?) to come across Stephen Colbert's DNA floating through space, CNN reports.
The Comedy Central talk host's DNA will be digitized and sent to the International Space Station in October as part of a time capsule.
The other possibility? Mankind could be resurrected through Colbert's DNA should earth or man ever cease to exist.
"I am thrilled to have my DNA shot into space, as this brings me one step closer to my lifelong dream of being the baby at the end of 2001," Colbert said in a statement, referring to the 1968 landmark science fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey."
