> At galactic scale, there's not much difference between a Mars cockroach and a regular cockroach.

There's not much difference between one species and another here but we still study all of them in great detail.

Don't mistake your lack of intellectual curiosity about a certain subject as being a trait shared by everyone else. I don't care about football but that doesn't mean nobody else does.

Similarly, as I said already, if you're going to go cruising about the galaxy, you're going to put people on that ship who are interested in what they're going to find. Otherwise there's no point.
