It's an under the radar show, but definitely worth your attention, if you're a Sci-Fi fan. It's reasonably realistic scenario of humanity in a few centuries.

Another super cool achievement by Humanity! Go Humans! Specifically Japan in this instance though.
Back in 2014, Japan’s space program JAXA launched an asteroid probe that had a long journey ahead of it. The spacecraft, called Hayabusa 2, spent over three years cruising towards its destination, a massive asteroid called Ryugu. The trip was long, but JAXA just announced that Hayabusa 2 has arrived at the rock, and now the real fun begins.
The goal of the mission is to study the makeup of the asteroid itself. Unfortunately, scraping a sample from the surface isn’t acceptable because debris from its countless years in space has likely sullied its exterior. Instead, Hayabusa 2 will need to go deeper, and that means an explosion is in order.
Hayabusa 2 will release a small impactor that will land on the asteroid’s surface. After it lands, the spacecraft will reposition to a safe distance and then a charge on the impact will detonate, which will shove the small projectile deep into the rock, forming a hole. That hole, or crater, will become Hayabusa 2’s target, and the spacecraft will carefully maneuver itself so that it can touchdown and take its own subsurface samples.

Conversely, I would expect that they've probably moved on the "mp3's" while we are still on "vinyl records", so I guess if their intent was to communicate, they'd have to dig out the pile of old records? Hence "Radio Waves"?
I can't wait for the future. Lol
