Reply to comment by DreamChaserSt in do we really believe aliens can decode the golden records by Calm-Confidence8429

I wasn’t saying we were doomed (We’re more likely to be doomed by ourselves that anything from outer space anyway lol)

I think it’s pretty incredible that we’ve come this far in terms of technology in such a short span of time.

Imagine how far a civilization much older than ours could be in terms of technology….

Anyway, it’s all theories and conjecture. I was just feeling a bit wary when I wrote the comment.

Appreciate the response though :D

I know you weren't, that was just from what I pasted. My main opinion was that sending out signals isn't something we need to be really worried about.

I agree though, we have come far, when Frank Drake made the first SETI like experiment in 1960, we hadn't been to the Moon, and had barely begun space travel. Now we know of thousands of planets, have the tools to look for signs of life, and are approaching a future we're we're expanding across the solar system.
