As the saying goes, "none of us are getting out of this alive". But we all can hope to have the kind of impact, personally and professionally, on the world around us Stephen #Hawking had. As Astrophysicist Katie Mack said, "Hawking’s influence on theoretical physics, and on our understanding of the cosmos, was massive."
And if, as Hawking concluded, information is never lost, then he's not really gone.
This is an excellent article that goes into the challenges spectrum management in astrophysics deal with.
When you're looking for signals many orders of magnitude fainter than a cellphone on Pluto, it doesn't take much to interfere.
