Although we have no definite knowledge of any extraterrestrials, and we certainly do not know that any extraterrestrials have received any messages from us, we have sent a number of things into space, notably radio and TV broadcasts and various robotic space probes, which would convey information to extraterrestrials if the hypothetical extraterrestrials received them.

Some ways humans have attempted to send messages to extraterrestrials include radio broadcasts, spacecraft carrying plaques or artifacts with information about humanity, and using powerful lasers to beam messages towards specific star systems. These methods aim to communicate our existence, culture, and curiosity to potential alien civilizations.
The messages were sent by Sal's mother shortly before she and Sal's father were killed in a bus accident. Sal finds these messages while on a road trip with her grandparents to visit her mother's grave in Idaho.
Messages from Apollo 11 were sent using radio signals between the spacecraft and Earth-based tracking stations. The tracking stations picked up the signals and relayed them to mission control in Houston. These messages included voice communications, telemetry data, and video transmissions.
The red planet that humans have sent robots to is Mars. NASA and other space agencies have sent rovers and landers to explore the Martian surface and gather data about its geology and atmosphere.
