listen people, we will NEVER hear any waves simply because most of the transmissions stay at planet and even these signals what get out are ruined in noise at pluto and even there you would neeed 2 km antenna to trace any remains of the sign signal
Right, recently on NPR there was a segment wherein an astronomer states that Lucy isn't heard much beyond the solar system.

This, to me, negates the so called "paradox" Fermi proposed.
While the universe should be teeming with ETs they may well not be loud enough to be heard beyond their own systems.
Apparently we aren't.
