Ask not what you can do for your yeshiva but what your yad can drive you to find in Torah.
If you like the discussion about “Did G-d create a separate universe for the sake of living on change of good wealth”, then consider that the extraterrestials are real.
But would Hashem have other beings and would the be anything to discover?
Only if Torah said “Beam me up”.
I think I will hedge to think that Earth is the plan.
G-d is True.
I will keep Torah.
