Our best bet is the moon, and people could be ferried in and out like we do with the ISS. Daniel --------------------------- Our ionosphere prevents us from receiving long wave radio signals and a dish antenna large enough for them is impractical for satellites. They require only the simplest technology to transmit and receive and are excellent candidates for alien transmissions if any are to be found. This project enables searching in an obvious but currently inaccessible frequency band for what we may be missing. https://www.nasa.gov/general/lunar-crater-radio-telescope-lcrt-on-the-far-side-of-the-moon/ An orbiting satellite could collect and relay the data back to Earth. Perhaps aliens just received the distress call from MGY (Titanic) and are coming to the rescue, or to observe our entry into technology. Or to conquer the primitives and exploit their new discovery as we did.
