Pointless thread
Maybe they just meant life outside the Milky Way galaxy.

There are many potential star systems with planets inside our own Milky Way Galaxy, so why begin a search even farther away in another galaxy? Looking closer to earth, relatively speaking, a telescope can focus on individual star systems and rule out interference from other sources. When attempting to detect signals in a distant galaxy containing billions of suns, it would probably not be possible to narrow down an individual signal.
