But, as I said, if it's so easy to find a civilization in space, why haven't we found one yet? Project S.E.T.I (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Inteligence) is searching for some right now, but they've only found space dust and nebulas. Plus, they're also starting to lose some funds, and if they're broke, no more satalites for them. which means there will be an even lower chance to find intellegent lifeforms other than humans.
Granted. I probably chose my words poorly when i said "two."

But my point still stands.
Even if there are thousands of spacefaring species, the sheer mega-huge, utlra-big, enormously-large, (no bigger than that), and even bigger than that size of space means we are so incredibly unlikely to run into them.

Not impossible.
I'm just saying, that it's a heck of an ego to think Earth is even on their radar.
