Talkative Aliens (Narration Only)

The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, SETI, relies on looking for signals from distant alien worlds where even very powerful signals can weaken to near nothing. We'll explore today how we, or extraterrestrials, might get around this problem, be it by immense star-powered transmitters or by using laser communication beams.
