Great for research to try and figure out if we're typical or unique. And frankly amazing what they can glean from such a minuscule amount of data. But it's totally out of reach for anything practical, even our own solar system is mostly beyond our ability to visit.

I do hope one day something will occur where people can point at my post and say, "you were completely wrong". Not seeing it.
