Will this mean ET won't be able to phone home?

An interesting article, thank you, Reikiangel.
From memory, I don't think the bits of old record player and umbrella cost ET $50m, so hopefully he'll still be able to get in touch with his family!
By the way, what do the staff at SETI, who cost so much, actually do all day????
Yes, interesting. Thanks, Reikiangel.
SETI was always an interesting thing to try, but astonishingly it never led to any results at all. Yet it's illogical to think that there's no-one "out there" at all, in such a vast universe. So how come they don't use radio waves? It appears as if we think of alien life after our own terms or in our own image. Not one of them uses radio waves (if we believe they are there as I do).
In short, "aliens" are more alien to our understanding than most people even imagine, it seems.

I've read over the years about how the SETI project was front for covert communications monitoring. I don't know if this is true or not or just a form of paranoia.

Radio travels at speed of light, which is much too slow for practical interstellar communication. You can't draw conclusions from lack of alien radio messages. You might as well intercept lots of pigeons, find that they no longer have messages attached, and conclude from this that there is no intelligent life on Earth. Whereas in fact of course carrier pigeons have been superceded by better means of communication.
