That's very lovely, but ultimately egotistical. I mean, I romanticise about it too, but the universe ultimately just... is. The only severity is for us humans. No other species has a sense of "species" as a community AFAIK. Heck, even humans have a terrible track record. We can't even seem to sterilise machines we sent to space no matter how hard we try, even after being exposed to outer space. That's the evidence we have.
