Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I'd love to know what NASA has planned for it.

Yeah but why would they do it to come here? I mean, gestures vaguely at everything

    Also, if they were billions of light years away and they looked at our planet from afar, they would see our planet billions of years ago. No reason to visit. What are the chances of a random visit?
