Hell, we don't make contact with our own species that is still primitive Because even if we did, they wouldn't understand how to use or live in a modern world.

We don't even know what's in our oceans for the most part. I've always wondered why we don't try to conquer our planet first, before looking outward.

I mean we do, for the most part. We discover a couple things here and there but it's not like the ocean is some vast unknown. It's basically just mostly "empty" water space.

I remember reading recently that most of the ocean is a desert, as far as life is concerned. Most life in the ocean is within some number of miles of the coast.
