I'm a bit confused by the title and post, has there recently (2016) been another signal or an update to the last one?

M13 cluster is 25,000 light years away, soooooo... our message should get there in about 25,000 years. If there are aliens there to receive the signal AND they can send a reply....
We should get the message in about 50,000 years.

Unless the ET's there 25,000 years into the future can travel in time. Maybe they got the message, figured out where it came from and WHEN and they answered. Think out side the box!

The Arecibo message of 1974, which contained encoded information about the human race, DNA, atomic numbers, Earth's position and other information, was beamed from the Arecibo Observatory radio telescope towards M13 as an experiment in contacting potential extraterrestrial civilizations in the cluster. While the cluster will move through space during the transit time, the proper motion is small enough that the cluster will only move 24 light years, only a fraction of the diameter of the cluster. Thus, the message will still arrive near the center of the cluster
