   One of my favourite sequences in cinema.

     Moreover, the first broadcasts that were sufficiently powerful to break through our ionosphere took place in the late 1930s.

     Meaning, the first thing they'll see is probably Hitler.

     Man, no wonder nobody comes to say "hello". I bet our dumpster fire of a planet is a wicked show, though.

     The radio signals we broadcast are escaping into outer space, creating a radio layer, that's ever expanding at the speed of light.

     Meaning, some alien somewhere somewhen is watching our TV.
