Earth is extremely rare. It's fortunate that we found it.

We’re uniquely adapted to this planet but technology and adaptability could make close good enough.

Maybe they don't know, but I sure do.

We have plenty of evidence that life is rare. It’s rare in the solar system and is even rare on Earth if one uses an objective measure like a ratio of living mass to non-living mass.
