I want to be the one who introduces them to chess and Bach. Preferably before they've heard of genocide, instant coffee, and country and western.

Well - if they are remotely like us they've probably been fighting a massive interplanetary war for a millennium or so. Let's see - seven planets - seven kingdoms - ever shifting alliances - an iron throne....

I think aliens may well apprecaitethe mathematical beauty in Bach.

We earthlings are nowhere near the tech needed to travel to them.

So if they have the knowhow to travel to us...it will be a case of the Latin American 'Indians' [sic]  meeting the Conquistadors 

If their planetary system enjoyed the projected course of H2O based evolution then their DNA base will be reptilian not mammal ..... :-

I've read that scientists from Luik/Liege in Belgium were involved in the discovery. This might also explain why the system is called Trappist. So it's quite tempting to think what kind of H2O based life could be found there.  :P
Water is indeed the essential ingredient of life, because without water you can't make coffee!
