Whether life exists elsewhere is an important question for many people. I think you’ve been outvoted.
It is not a question of whether “life” elsewhere is “important”. Over the millenniums ahead of us it no doubt will be. We are so far away from any practicality of that to humans at this time, it’s ridiculous.
“Life” on Mars, or somewhere in this solar system. Yes, we have some practical use in that now, as we begin to get prepared to humanly explore our own solar system.
“Life” on some “exoplanet” 1,000 light years from us? Zero practical importance at this time, and we have a long ways ahead of us in which it will be reasonable for us to see it as important in any practical sense.
