First contact with aliens will happen or it will be confirmed to have already happened.

There’s no aliens.

Not here anyway.

No aliens at all seems like a worst case scenario tbh. With the number of habitable planets that exist the only logical explanation is that they all killed themselves, and we will too soon.

Or there’s some type of propulsion we’ve been experimenting with for a while, but it requires nuclear material in the sky, and country X seems to have figured it out too, so could they please stop.

I think it's quantized inertia that finally gives a theory to explain how to get around the need to carry reaction mass.

I'm patiently waiting for Barry-1 to push itself up into a higher orbit in that manner.

Here's the tracking page

https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/graph-orbit-data.php?CA...

and aliens use PHP.

What does PHP have to do with it? CelesTrak is an organization that distributes satellite tracking data .

You can use their data to watch for all sorts of things in orbit, like the International Space Station[1], weather satellites, etc.

All the better for when we need to hijack their ships with a virus.
