But, but... How do we extract value from it? No micro transactions? No ad revenue? Can we sell it? Write it off as a loss? Is there at least a credit card reader so aliens can sign up for recurring payments?
It's a moonshot in that it has a very tiny likelihood of attracting alien intelligence that is such a game changer that it brings an unfathomable amount of wealth to our planet.
