People looking above and beyond, thinking too deep about it, are wasting good thought time on Earth
and missing or not appreciating fully what's around them here and now
It's a short time down here for everyone, and we have enough BS taught and flogged daily to digest
without having to think about what may or may not be going on 'out there'
or wasting resources getting there.
I'll bet some dude on the other side 'out there' is posting the same thing on their version of the EEVblog forum,
and copping this same reply/replies
as well as people in our local past looking up at the stars, wondering..
with the result a few dishonest enterprising asses made a big deal out of it, knocked up some believable sounding fairy tales to control masses of simpletons over the centuries,
and made a LOT of gold, silver, cash, and digital wealth from it, promoting LOTS of trouble like war and famine to keep business pumping
rackets which their offspring inherited and still run today as legit easy money 'operations'
This is why extra terrestrial aliens don't hang out here, and never will, because they can't fathom the insanity of it all,
and planted
'FOREVER No Go Zone, WRONG WAY GO BACK!!!' signs and communications beacons in space for others to avoid.
Stuff them anyway, be happy with what we have,
and not have to deal with 'advanced' smartass aliens, who fly around the universe like bored cashed up tourists,
most likely because they don't appreciate their own home turf,
and or looking for some cheap resources to rip off the defenceless humans,
or beam up a few and take some back for 'probing'
