The Fremi paradox isn't so much about not being able so see their communications. It's about interstellar expansion of ETIs: our galaxy alone is very small compared to its age. An ETI could settle it at very low sublight speed in a tiny fraction of its age. Why hasn't this happened yet?

Added bonus of this specific model: it's a much better fit in scale with the ISS model from a few years back than the shuttle that came with it...

Not any time soon, but if we survive the next few centuries - eventually it's inevitable. It's probably also better to separate human civilization from the unique biosphere of Earth, too.

There were so many "nevers" in the history of humankind that turned out to be "not yets"...
