"Nevertheless, the vaginal sounds that were sent will have reached Epsilon Eridani in 1996 and Tau Ceti in 1998. It is unclear what sort of reply we should expect."

    Tau Ceti is only 12 ly away

    1998 + 12 = 2010

    So they’re like 15 years late replying to the pussy call. Either they are too old and slow or they have so much already they’re just too busy

      Or they got the signal and had no fucking clue what it was, like when we got that strange noise from space that happened just once and never again.

        If you’re thinking of the “Wow” signal, it turned out to be a magnetar

          Maybe aliens’ vaginas sounds like magnetars.

          All joking aside, it took us almost 40 years to figure that out, the aliens have only had 30, and in the magnetars case we can use other celestial bodies to help figure that out. Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.

            I’d be happy to figure out an alien’s vagina from scratch, just for the record.

        per OP, signal reached T.C. in 1998 T.C. is ~12 ly away if they responded that year we’d have got the message in 1998 + 12 = 2010 that was 15 years ago
