How appropriate. Orbiting a star named after a man without whom we wouldn’t have a Goldilocks zone.
Don’t think that there are others out there...but...
They are looking at our galaxy and wondering if life exists on our planet.
They are still a bit backward and do not have the capability to send signals to us.
They are way advanced beyond us and their signals have been lost in the past. They are trying to resolve their own financial problems and no longer provide funds for space exploration.
They are at our level and still trying to figure out how to govern without taking out the job creators.
