Except maybe they can’t do any of that any more, and they’re living a nomadic existence as the remnants of a civilization near the end of its life and a stellar event pushed them onto a fleet of generation ships and they’ve centuries roaming in ships that are increasingly taking apart around them.
Just because you can launch a ship or 3000 into space doesn’t mean you can do it well or all that safely.
After all, we have the technology right now, to build such a generational fleet of ships and send them off. We just don’t do it because there’s no real impetus to do so, but I can guarantee that if we knew for certain that absolute death was coming our way with no way of stopping it, escaping would be one of the things we would try to do.
Being able to get here doesn’t mean squat if it was just a random choice based on old light and a “that star looks like the best candidate we can reach in less than 300 years.”
Just because humans haven’t gone outside the orbit of earth doesn’t mean we don’t have the capability of it. We’re just trying to do it safely.
Imagine if we didn’t care how many died as long as some of us made it?

I mean that’s how the old USSR did things…
I forgetted a word
I mean, at that point you’re saying they’re not much more advanced than us, soooo… I’d place bets on us shooting them out of the sky.
Except they have the high ground. They can drop rocks on us.
