    It’s amazing that we can even communicate with something so far away. Science is ridiculously awesome regardless of how much a certain wing of the political spectrum would have you think otherwise.

      How about the fact that this man made piece of hardware from the last millennium is still ticking away out there? Talk about build quality.

        Meanwhile modern consumer hardware starts breaking down after like a year, and it’s not by accident. So many global resources are wasted by planned obsolescence that I don’t think we’ll ever really know the full cost. All for what, to deepen the pockets of a few rich cunts? I bet the solution to the Fermi paradox is that all of the other advanced alien civilizations have people that are just as greedy as our own and bring their downfall in order to make a quick buck.
