    Why would they send a probe to inspect ships from a visible distance? They could fulfill all their curiosity from lightyears away

        If an alien wanted to visit the Earth, they would actually die hundreds to thousands of years before they would ever get here.

        It’s simply just not worth the trip, when only your thousandth generation descendants would actually survive to make it.

        Now, if aliens actually had warp drive technology, millions of years in the future from our technology, they probably aren’t even going to bother visiting us because we’re so archaic.
