Besides even if alien species were able to observe the entire night sky, we've only been transmitting signals into space for less then a hundred years. |
There is also the hypotheses that everything we send into space becomes indistinguishable from white noise within just 2 light years, which is not even half way to proxima centauri, the closest star to our solar system.

You mean astronauts don't prove that?
Apart from that some bacteria and some types of moss survived and procreated in a simulated Mars environment. I think we should send some of those there to be certain.
