I am originally from Bartoot City— it is at map grid roughly C-6 in Earth terminology. The sub shuttle has a large central depot there, so toob trips are usually much shorter, and single-stop; and don’t need a costly through-connection hub & spoke ticket, usually.
I arrived here on a C-57D variant ship, and am asisting NASA with large scale water re-introduction via atmosphere-skimming redirected comets. I live in Las Vagas and commmute to work aboard the daily Janet flights. We hope the project will yield a planetary “shirt-sleeve” environment in under 200 Earth years, assuming no accidental high-angle direct impacts.
Simple fix:
Require all cars to be fitted with speed limit governors set to 15 miles an hour, add 5-point aircraft style seat belts/restraints, and supply 50 mile an hour steel bumpers on all sides of the car, Further, require all existing cars be RETROFITTED up to the current safety codes within one year.
PRESTO! Near-zero fatalities on the road!

“radio” might be just too obsolete and no longer used.
Before it was discovered (invented?) “Radio” was unknown and invisible to us humans as well as — let’s say — the ants. Antkind.
As ants go about their business, do you figure they have
ANY idea that human civilization exists? Or how it works, or what devices and tools it uses?
Civilizations Out There, considering the time spans involved, could be as advanced compared to us, as we are, compared to ants.
While certain commonalities and needs may exist, an advanced alien civiization may not be comprehensible to us — never mind what channel they’re on.
My very plain and routine unexciting coffee table in front of the living room couch was made in Vietnam. It’s nice. It wasn’t very expensive. It’s “strong-built.”
Never occurred to me while I was in Vietnam in 1968 that I’d even own such a thing.
