re: #80 Fozzie Bear

Of course there’s also the possibility that interstellar travel is just impossible given any level of technological advancement. If that’s the case, the universe is packed full of intelligent beings each looking up and wondering, and none of them able to confirm it.

How many beings are asking this same question, right now?

Remember reading an argument the other day that we, as in humanity, may in fact be the first intelligent species to evolve to this level. That we’re the “Precursor” species whose existence will one guide others to the stars.

That’s assuming we don’t blow ourselves up in the process.
