- Abstract
Society has had interesting changes since centuries ago and nowadays we have gotten them relevant too. When I teach, speak about Space Law or space activities I say that we, society, related to space are like people used to be about the sea centuries ago, they wondered what was beyond horizon, they were curious about what was somewhere else. There have been several remarkable space accomplishments that belong to also many countries but, I am sure there is plenty of information waiting out Earth to be discovered, found, and one, in my opinion, is the possibility of Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence; my interest is to find out whether in Mexico there is something about this Intelligence included in some of its public space documents. These documents are: * Ley que crea la Agencia Espacial Mexicana (Mexican Space Agency Decree) * Líneas Generales de la Política Espacial de México (General Terms of Mexican Space Policy) * Programa Nacional de Actividades Espaciales de la Agencia Espacial Mexicana (Space Activities´s National Program of Mexican Space Agency) * Estatuto Orgánico de la Agencia Espacial Mexicana (Mexican Space Agency´s Organic Statute) These documents are not old, Mexico had been involved in space activities since some decades ago but these does not mean that this state has gotten any development in Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, I consider that this hypothesis explains my interest and, if the believe in Mexico truly is that it is useful, fruitful, necessary to become part of space states, Mexico has to develop also this Intelligence.
