We are failing to deal with the basics of survival, that is, the careful rationing of our supplies to ensure our existence. At the rate we are consuming the precious resources of 'Mother Earth' and polluting the very air that sustains us, we need not be concerned that life 'alien to us' is going to be a threat for our existence.
We are our own worst enemy .............
In answer to Suzy's thread title, Yes, I think we do need to 'risk it' and try to contact a more intelligent 'species' as, on our own, we are not going to survive ...........

Matt, you raised a very good point, I never thought of it like that. I think you are so right.
