Why is it when people wonder where the aliens are going to land, they always assume they will land in the US? Maybe they'd prefer a Czech Pils as opposed to a West Coast IPA. 
At least I was not disappointed by a lack of a Quantum Leap reference.
Food for thought: Given the massive size of the universe in all 4 dimensions, there is a distinctly non-zero possibility that some alien civilization in the distant past once developed such a time-travel device. Just because we never got wind of it doesn't mean it didn't exist. So don't give up hope on being able to go back and drink a beer with your great-grandfather just yet.
