Every single slightly habitable planet in the galaxy could harbor a species that has gone to it's nearest moons and planets, and we wouldn't be able to tell. Every transmission our species has made is indistinguishable from quantum noise at the distance of Alpha Centauri.

In the sense of the Fermi Paradox, zero species on this star have "made it to space".
