One thing that fascinates me about science fiction is how uniformly it tends to restrict itself to our galaxy. FTL? I have friends who think that's coming this century. Colonization on Mars? Probably only a little harder than those moonbases I saw on 1970's TV shows.
But when Star Trek made a whole series about a ship being sent too far away to ever return (in one lifetime), they only sent it to the other side of our galaxy.
Anyway... the Fermi Paradox still doesn't apply to things 100s of MLYs away, that we can barely size up, much less get TV channel programming from.
