I was right there with ya until...

The folks excited about the possibilities need to find a map of the galaxy illustrating how far our radio signals have reached since first broadcast. I've seen it but am not bothering to look it up. It's hella depressing. Until Zefram Cochrane comes along it's all just a fun brain exercise.

Radio signals from earth are about 100 light years out and have passed about 10,000 stars. The galaxy is about 100,000 light years wide and contains approximately 200-400,000,000,000 stars, depending on which source for this data you respect.
