    the only thing interesting about this planet is it’s life.

    I’ve come to assume that if aliens do come here… it’s either to wipe us from existence or to convert us. (and then wipe us from existence when we refuse to convert.)

    But there’s no way any aliens would be interested in our resources (there’s much easier resources to acquire if you’re space fairing,) they wouldn’t be interested in territory (again, it’s a lot easier to build a space station than it is to come to another star system,); trade is prohibitively expensive except for cultural exchanges (and really we’ve been blasting our “culture” out into space, so… uh…yeah.)
