Aliens have taken you aboard their ship. You will be asked to make a statement. If the statement is true you will be blasted into atoms. If it is false you will be ejected into space. One statement can get you out alive. What is it and how does it spare you?

The right statement would be: I will be ejected into space. If the statement is true, then I would have to be blasted into atoms, which makes it a false statement, but if it is a false statement, i should be ejected into space, which makes it a true statement. And then the aliens are caught in their own paradox. There you go.
