The odds of us actually meeting an advanced, intelligent alien species is pretty slim. Communicate with? Possibly, but meet? Probably not. Besides, if I were aliens I wouldn't give us FTL tech. We'd just fuck up the galaxy. Maybe in a couple hundred thousand years after our species has matured a bit.

In a thousand years, we'll have magic, apparently.
From your link:
"A bubble macroscopically large enough to enclose a ship 200 meters across would require a total amount of exotic matter equal to 10 billion times the mass of the observable universe."
lol

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Send self replicating autonomous robots to terraform it instead of humans. Technology grows exponentially, so it won't take that long to get the tech to do it. Waiting for the terraform to complete is the longest part.

^ have always loved that quote...

Indigenous Medicine-men/Shamans have been in communication with terrestrial and extra-terrestrial life since before civilized man even conceived of other life beyond this planet.
