Let’s assume there is alien life on many planets beyond our solar system. Now what? What’s the practical benefit?

Let's assume I wake up tomorrow still alive. Then what? You're basically asking what's the meaning of life.

If you wake up tomorrow still alive, you can visit HN and downvote my comments. That will impact my karma value. Not a big deal, but still. If there is alien life, you can’t do anything about it. Zero impact.
