Since the 1960s, about 55 missions have been launched to the planet of Mars. Of which, only half have successfully landed. That's a mission every year, very roughly.
Just goes to show how horrendous space travel is right now.
Imagine how much more work needs to go in to actually map all of our solar system, and manage to do it quickly. After that, we can probably work on getting out of our solar system. Then travel many, many solar systems, until we encounter alien life.
Once we encounter these alien life forms, we get to know if they’re good to us, or if they’re hostile, or completely uninterested in forming any sort of bond with us.
I don’t think any of this will happen in our lifetimes. Or even our great, great, great, great, grand children’s lifetimes.
For the little people like you and me, it’s probably best to just continue fighting over imaginary slights like religion, and land, and hurt sentiments.
