What if we are the first/only intelligent beings in the universe and it is upon us to spread to other galaxies and stars?
Probabilistically unlikely for us to be the only ones, but just a thought.

How do you even measure that? If the number of coincidences required for life to emerge is large enough, the probability of observing life on a planet could very well be far bellow 1 over the number of planets in the universe.
That would make us probably alone :(
Probably like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation
Quoting wikipedia:
The last four parameters, fl, fi, fc, and L, are not known and are very difficult to estimate, with values ranging over many orders of magnitude
Which means there's no really good reason we can't move our factories to space and turn Earth into a Life Haven.
