The point is, is that humans on a whole are Wookie-flanges. I bet if we got 100% proof Bigfoot or the Yeti was real, a group of Hunters would go out, shoot two (one to be stuffed, the other to be dissected) and catch a third to put in captivity.
The same goes with Alien planets, we'd completely eviserate them beyond belief. Wiping out all plant life and indigenous specie. We did it with the Native Americans, the Mauri's and the Aborigini's.
Though saying that, we could probably travel to distant planets and explore, as time slows down the further away from gravity you are, and so you would probably not die of old age.
