    Eh, natural resources are far easier to extract from asteroids and moons than to haul out the gravity well of the biggest rocky planet in the area. And they wouldn’t have to mess with the nasty apes for any of them.

      The only interesting thing on earth is life itself, as well as intelligent life and its culture. Literally everything else can be found everywhere else

          Why would they farm on alien soil? That sounds like a terrible idea. Just make space bases dedicated for farming

          No, they’d just use earth for scientific reasons, exploring and cataloguing our life. And perhaps maybe for artistic/cultural reasons, enrichment basically

        Regardless, there are far more resources much easier to obtain in deep space than we have down here. That doesn’t change even if gravity is less of an obstacle to them.
