Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Nature puts restrictions on travel through space, and it also restricts the possibility of communicating with distant civilizations by radio. One restriction is based on simple physics: Radio signals are electromagnetic waves and travel at the speed of light. Due to the distances between the stars, the speed of radio waves would severely limit humanity's ability to carry on normal conversations with distant civilizations. Decades could elapse between asking a question and getting an answer.
