In Trek we were lucky that our little corner had friendly/tolerable aliens and specifically that it was the Vulcan first contact.
Unfortunately in our reality we are 99.99999% for sure alone and the end result of all that suffering, if we manage to achieve near FTL travel we will just devolve into some nihilistic hyper capitalism, those stupid articles "this asteroid is worth 1 trillion USD in minerals" are already being published unironically.
