Hmmm not so sure about that.
We´re in a quite comfortable zone in our solar system.
The habitable zone is a rare state in the universe and could definitley attract other species.

We got everything you need: Water, Air, Humus, Day/Night cycle, mild temperatures.

And that´s why I would visit the small blue planet.
But you are right with the point, that they would laugh about us.
They even won´t understand what we are doing.

It could be like you and me, staring at an anthill ;-)
