I've read a book about the Fermi paradox and I didn't realize how interesting concept it is. There is probably someone in our "neighborhood," but we have no evidence of them. So the question is, why?
I guess you could say that the space is too large, making it difficult to contact someone even with a signal, let alone a drone. And you probably do not need drones or spaceships to explore the universe; enough advanced computers could probably give you satisfying guesses about what the planets in the galaxy look like. Thus, if aliens are just little more advanced than us they have probably calculated that our planet has life, including intelligence, therefore they could be driven to send us a direct signal or some drone. But nothing yet.
So, every time you appear to have found an answer to the Fermi paradox, you raise new questions.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
