      Water? I think aliens can find plenty of that anywhere in the galaxy. There are whole clouds of water vapor, as well as asteroids, planets and moons throughout with lots of ice in space that have as much or more water as we do.

      Aliens would be looking for exotic things like the proteins and amino acids in our biology … they’d want to be harvesting us, the animals and plants for specialty parts and building blocks.
