Well, let me speculate again; I'm sure that these soon-to-be-discovered and intelligent outerspace beings are traveling on the basis of plasma mechanics. Remember that 99% of the known universe is ... plasma...

Hi MrAmsterdam,
You don't have to be rocket scientist to work out that the better your detection equipment, the better your chances of detecting what you are looking for.

And new telescopes need more funding. As long as the A.R. starts looking through the proper end of his telescopes

I only hope that the aliens have a big enough budget to buy the best telescope in universe and detect us first.
