What I love is the idea that aliens would even wanna visit this planet. Think about it. On a galactic scale we are probably one of the shittiest backwater places you could think of. An intelligent native species that is HIGHLY aggressive. Killings their own species and others indiscriminately. That has, in some studies, recorded in 3,400 years only 268 of peace. In others less than 100 years of peace in the last 5,000 years, the majority of which is in the last century. Other native species that are extremely large and dangerous. Unstable atmospheric conditions. Technologically un-advanced (in comparison to species that could travel around the galaxy). Etc. Etc. Etc.
In a galaxy full of planets that are probably more mineral rich. More beautiful. Less hostile. I doubt we are on the top of anyone's list.
