Why would they contact us? Kopernik got a lot wrong, but he was right in that we are nothing special. A species advanced enough to contact other lifeforms must run across planets in various states of ruin 12 a day.

I think it's fundamentally interesting to see other biology. Just look at us trying to catalogue every possible life on earth, no matter how mundane.

What if we are the only ones obsessed with alien and space travels? What if there are quite a few aliens, but they are busy eating fruit and sleeping in the sun.
