What I'm scared of is the possibility that we will wipe ourselves out before contact with aliens. Human culture- every race, every song, every building, every game and movie and book and work of art and slang and our entire history- will be completely unknown for eternity.

We can't even begin to imagine the amount of alien civilizations that have come and gone over the past few billion years, which too, are unknown to anyone. We are probably backwater and irrelevant to any aliens who have actually made contact with each other. The only option is to get off Earth and find another planet to occupy. We are running out of space here.
