I don´t get how she can have the motivation to continue working for SETI after already making contact with the aliens and with the very high probability that contact will never be made again in her lifetime. I mean as far as I understand, it is a very mundane job and she had already reached everything she could have hoped for.
shareShe wasn't necessarily going to work on SETI full time. Radio astronomers have a lot of other projects that keep them busy.

You got your mind right, Luke?
what else do you want her to do with her life lol... she's waiting for the second contact aha
shareBottom line, if the universe consists of just us on earth and these "Vegans" wherever they call home is, it's an awful waste of space.
shareSETI efforts will not end if and when signals are detected from one civilization; many scientists say, "if we detect one, the odds are high there are thousands if not millions."
I have another thought on the final scene; I'll put it in a separate thread.

Im not talking about SETI stopping. Im talking about Ellie returning to work for them. Just seems odd you would go on looking after you already found what you were looking for...
