Only thing i don't agree with from your post. I feel like you're assuming that aliens would have similar Communications to us. A major problem about
the Universe, and the life that could inhabit it, is that we only have the concept of water base life to look for. As humans, we can only look for
things that are similar to things around us because thats all we know. Imagine explaining the internet to someone from 1500AD, but not giving them any
information on what electricity is, what Computers are, what plastics are, and where they come from. Their minds just wouldn't be able to grasp it in
anyway. now thats only a 514 year gap in time. All those things came to within the last 150 or so years(on record anyways) and the internet has
totally shifted the social dynamics of the human race. Try Imagine what devices will be around 10,000 years in the future, at the same exponential
technological growth we are going through now, maybe even accelerated by something yet to be invented or discovered . The idea that we can't travel
faster then light is only based off of Human mathematics and is limited to our current understanding of the universe, which is very very little. I
usually don't bother trying to guess what aliens would be like, or what technology they would possesses. One thing I believe is that If a species on
another planet managed to become aware, as humans have, then they would have to go through the same, if not similar Technological advances as we have.
They would have to, as a species, develop ways to get off the planet, and sustain traveling through space, All without completely ruining the planet
finding the resources to build such a craft. Nanotechnology is the great key. Having the ability to construct and deconstruct any anything, Atom by
Atom, at great speed, would mean to be able to create anything, using anything. I Don't believe that any civilization advanced enough to travel
trough deep space, would Still have Biological bodies. With all that being said....
As humans, We have the manpower, the resources and the Technology, to Build a space exploring ship. I Believe the ability was discovered to early, as
the discovery of atomic energy was founded before our species could evolve enough mentally to be able to control our emotions. Instead of Spending
resources on getting off this tiny rock, we've wasted it on wars, useless material items and by pollution. Once a Species Figures away to cheat the
balance of nature, it has very little time to expand into space, or overcrowd and kill the planet they are on.
