What are the odds that we are completely alone? So many stars and galaxies out there. We can't be alone. That would be a terrible waste of space?
Out of reach like you said. Distance and time. Our mortal time.
It would be something awesome indeed. So we have to go to them somehow, even if it means we would be just ghosts of who we once were, so at least they can learn about us the aliens as them themselves.
Ah and somehow we humans always dreamed about exploring the stars and if the only way to do that is by becoming something else since we are dying anyway, why not?
Agreed! So, whatever it means for us, let's do this uploading thing... for them. ^_^
