After all, we simple humans are already working on Faster-than-Light physics ourselves, so a civilization only a little older than us may have the technology as a matter of course.

But they came all this way only to crash in the Nevada desert. That's a shame.

It’s possibly interesting that they have advanced tech but poor driving skills—crash a lot. They might be us coming back from the future.

“But they came all this way only to crash in the Nevada desert. That’s a shame.”

Truly a shame, yes. But it the technology is real, then it is fallible. If it is controlled by an intelligence, then the fallibilty only increases.

imho,

not as shameful as egregious selfishness and thread hijacking.
