What a thought!
Billions of billions of stars, with planets and civilizations, pushing technology to new heights, but ultimately realizing that the best way to leave your handprint on the galactic cave wall is a Universe-wide message in a bottle.
I’m afraid we have more chances of making ourselves known by randomly throwing these bottles, than by answering back to where it came from.

Or it could be a civilization-in-a-bottle artifact with carefully programmed trajectory between several stars. If the message sender blew itself to nuclear ashes, its frozen siblings could have a new opportunity in a new system.
