Lol at people who speculate about the fermi paradox and not the drake equation.

If they're out there, they're not our neighbors. The chances that they're out there are incredibly high. The chances that any of them are close enough to communicate much less would want to are incredibly low.

People underestimate just how slow FTL travel even is compared to the scale of the universe.

People really underestimate how many independent parties are putting stuff up in the air or even into space.

I saw a video from a local college that basically put a gopro into space and I'm pretty sure they didn't get clearance from the government beforehand.

And how many times has a sporting event been put on high alert because some bozo put a drone in the sky at the wrong time? Everyone trusts the military to have their shit together but at the end of the day who would you expect to run on time and under budget, the US military or the NFL? At least the NFL can actually keep track of their annual spending and number of employees 😂 the US government can't do either of those things

I’ll just assume you’re busy for now since we all have lives outside of this. I look forward to your response. Otherwise, I’ll take your lack of response to show that you recognize how shaky your arguments are, or that you’re not as good at “winning reddit arguments” as you thought you were. Your last two responses were very quick, so you seemed available.
