Just don’t act surprised if, as per the invitation, the extraterrestrials show up naked & offering a quasi ‘Sieg Heil’.

They don’t need a map; they know exactly where we are, they’ve been avoiding us for ages.

Probably Bob Heinlein’s fault.

BTW any extraterrestrial who finds the Pioneer or Voyager probes will have been watching Earth TV for the last couple of years of their flight

Good thing we’re not beaming a constant stream of radio waves out in to space like a giant beacon saying “HERE WE ARE!” Nope, good thing we’re not doing that.

IIRC they know where we are and have scheduled our planet for demolition as it lies right in the path of a proposed hyperspace express route…
