It means that all they really know is that Kepler-22b (or something) was there 600 years ago.

No weekend trips?

It's well into the 21st Century and I still don't have a flying car. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for warp engines.

It means they’re not getting “Gilligan” or “The Beverly Hillbillies” yet.

Give ‘em another 560 years and they’ll be laughing their butts off tho’...
