Why? If their message missed us, as in today, by a measly century, noone would have heard the message. Hell, if they missed us by 55, 60 years, nobody would have noticed. Don't you realize how tiny that pinhead of reception still is?

They could've been sending messages constantly. One would assume they would have the resources for it.
