Steve, absolutely so, it is fascinating to discuss about the cosmos, but apparently God wanted the different stellar civilizations not to communicate among them, or to be able to communicate only after huge scientifical and technical progress., arguably achieved by very few ones.

Sometimes it may even be for our own good. we all know what happened to the Santo Domingo natives when Columbus was able to cross the Ocean, then to the American Indians, to the polynesians with the Spanish, and so many other civilizations which were enlaved or destroyed when the Europeans were able to overcome the ocean barriers. There might be some 'Europeans' out there ready to enslave us were it not for the immense distances between galaxies.
