Thing is, humanity (or whatever comes next) will need a way to survive the death of its sun. Yes we take the risk of stumbling on something so alien that it wouldn't perceive us as worthy of preserving, or that their means of communication could destroy us, but given the alternative is extinction anyway, it's worth a try. And let's say we're long gone and no other specie picks up where we left off, at least we give a fighting chance to the other species of our planet to get rescued by something else.
