I was doing some research to try and remember where I was going with a story I was writing and found that the reality of something I thought was really fucking awesome turns out to be completely useless. Like most of my life, and humanity in general.

@kelseyhusky Honestly, I'm not super worried about aliens getting judgy at us for not having been good at galactic positioning. If they look at the tech level of the rest of the probe, they'll probably figure out that this was our literal first-shot at sending something out of the solar system, which would hopefully temper their judgement.

@fibonacci_reminder Those would certainly be the non-Terrans I would want to meet. They'd be more likely to forgive us of our bullshit, and to be more understanding if they get here too late.
