So you think seeing the entire spectrum of earth lifeforms is equivalent to reality tv shows?

In a post scarcity society capable of folding dimensions for space travel, or can survive for thousands of years in regular space flight, yeah absolutely, do you watch cells divide for entertainment?

Well, I don't, but some scientists are tasked with it so someone does whether "fun" is the reason or not.
