This is what I doubt. Sure there may be more advanced species than us, but to get to the point to be able to travel between life supporting stars is a huge undertaking. It could possibly take generations upon generations upon generations...etc to do it. No contact with your home world, possibly no contact with any other being. You could just be adrift and have a new civilization in space and go absolutely nuts til the dumbfuck on the ship blows everyone up.
