    Water is nothing but 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen. They bond fairly easily at room temp. While yes, it would be faster to just suck up water from our oceans, it’s extremely more energy intensive to travel to our part of the milky way. They could literally hit up a hydrogen intense moon/planet and another oxygen one and just make it themselves with the little energy it needs for it to bond.

    I think the main difference between our planet and others like ours that would be more rare is life. Being the only sentient planet that we know of makes us more special.

    So potentially they are just abducting us to probe our butts.

      With any luck it would be Alien archeologists that want to observe the rare primitivities and not intervene.

      The prime directive.

        They are probably watching us destroy our planet and observing and recording. How nature conservancy folks don’t intervine when an animal is doing something self destructive.
