The alternative is that we aren't the first, but are in some sort of

just not parsimonious.

So, you don't believe that any of Earth's humanity will ever reach
another viable planet or moon. How entirely odd to think that our
ongoing form of intelligent design is not even remotely possible of
ever capable of contributing to or otherwise affecting the realm of
another world.

Why is it always all or absolutely nothing with you silly folks?
