I understand that you have a limited intellect,
and a very small field of vision.
Although the chances each year of making contact
are slim, the payoff is unbelievably high.
If we receive a message that was clearly sent by
an advanced species, human life will be unalterably
changed.  We will never view ourselves as the same again.

That will be true if the message was sent from
10 light years away, 50, 100, or 1,000.

I understand a great number of quality scientists
and people much smarter than you have devoted a
great deal of time, effort, and resources on S.E.T.I.

  Stephen Hawking and Russian billionaire Yuri Milner announced
a well-funded effort called Breakthrough Listen.[5]

In 1960, Cornell University astronomer Frank Drake performed
the first modern SETI experiment, named "Project Ozma".

  American astronomer Carl Sagan did the best-selling book
Intelligent Life in the Universe (1966).

In 1980, Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman founded the
U.S. Planetary Society, partly as a vehicle for SETI studies.

Many international radio telescopes are currently being used for
radio SETI searches, including the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR)
in Europe, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Australia, and
the Lovell Telescope in the United Kingdom.

Breakthrough Listen is a ten-year initiative with $100 million
funding begun in July 2015 to actively search for intelligent
extraterrestrial communications in the universe.

China's 500 meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) lists
detecting interstellar communication signals as part of its
science mission.
