Energia:
I'm not sure why I read it as 7000 years, but as you say, an almost literally monumental task. However, at least the builders of prehistoric monuments would have been able to speak to one another. 25 years to complete a 1km character would be within the scope of a mad dreaming human. For her to have kept going past the first word puts her mental processes beyond my ken. It's a clever line by Jeph, whether or not it's a throw away one.
greywolfe:
At least she was polite. She could have carved "WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE".

Kugai:

Is Alice non-sequituring to get Gavia to shut up, or is this meant to actually answer the question? I ask because I think kilometer-high letters still wouldn't be big enough to be seen from space, much less read from orbit - a kilometer's really not that big, and spacecraft in orbit have to move extremely fast in order to stay there.
