¤¤¤..¤.¤¤. on earth (the planet where i live) a ..¤.¤¤....
¤.¤¤...¤¤¤ lot of us have antennas on our houses ¤...¤¤¤...
..¤¤¤..¤.¤ or balconies, we have built large ¤¤..¤.¤¤..
..¤.¤¤...¤ antennas for larger bandwith, we have .¤¤...¤¤¤.
....¤¤¤..¤ build specialized antennaes for .¤¤¤..¤.¤¤
¤...¤.¤¤.. specific wavelengths (and sent them .¤.¤¤...¤¤
¤¤....¤¤¤. into orbit), we've built large as fuck ...¤¤¤..¤.
¤¤¤...¤.¤¤ antenna arrays ...¤.¤¤...
¤.¤¤....¤¤ we've virtually built an antenna with a .....¤¤¤..
..¤¤¤...¤. dish as large as earth. .....¤.¤¤.
..¤.¤¤.... .......¤¤¤
¤...¤¤¤... we've learned about our position in the .......¤.¤
¤¤..¤.¤¤.. solar system, our solar systems .........¤
.¤¤...¤¤¤. placement in the galaxy, and our ¤........¤
.¤¤¤..¤.¤¤ galaxys placement in the local cluster, ¤¤........
.¤.¤¤...¤¤ and «our« local clusters place in the .¤¤.......
...¤¤¤..¤. grand scheme of things .¤¤¤......
...¤.¤¤... .¤.¤¤.....
.....¤¤¤.. and we're moving around the sun at ...¤¤¤....
.....¤.¤¤. velocity and the suns moving around the ...¤.¤¤...
.......¤¤¤ center of the galaxy at velocity and .....¤¤¤..
.......¤.¤ the galaxy is moving toward andromeda ¤....¤.¤¤.
.........¤ and we're both moving anticlockwise .¤.....¤¤¤
¤........¤ around the galaxy. and we as a species ..¤....¤.¤
¤¤........ have learned to take all that in account ...¤.....¤
.¤¤....... ....¤....¤
.¤¤¤...... and despite all this, despite all our .....¤....
.¤.¤¤..... (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar ¤.....¤...
...¤¤¤.... radio programmes out in fucking space .¤.....¤..
...¤.¤¤... at the speed of light (light is our ..¤.....¤.

¤....¤.¤¤. despite ghosts helping and the ....¤.....

.¤....¤... so why is that? .....¤.¤¤.
..¤....¤.. ¤......¤¤¤
¤..¤....¤. most opponents to intelligent life in ¤¤.....¤.¤
¤¤..¤....¤ the universe say it's because you need .¤¤......¤
.¤¤..¤.... a class one-or-the-other star and the .¤¤¤.....¤
.¤¤¤..¤... planet needs to be at a see-and-so .¤.¤¤.....
.¤.¤¤..¤.. distance away from the star (like there ...¤¤¤....
...¤¤¤..¤. has to be a planet!) ¤..¤.¤¤...
...¤.¤¤..¤ ¤¤...¤¤¤..
.....¤¤¤.. but really isn't that keeping the ¤¤¤..¤.¤¤.
.....¤.¤¤. definition of life really lax? ¤.¤¤...¤¤¤
¤......¤¤¤ ..¤¤¤..¤.¤
¤¤.....¤.¤ i think everyone agrees that we have no ..¤.¤¤...¤
