Indeed, all descriptions of how big space is can be followed by, "and the most interesting part is right outside your window, and in your own body and mind". As far as we know at least. I think of the words at the end of Battlestar Galactica, "so much life". As far as we know, there are entire galaxies where the most exciting and interesting thing you could hope to find is some crystals. Then I look around our planet and can hardly see a square inch that isn't covered in life. I may never travel to other planets, and will certainly never go to another galaxy, but at least I'm here, in the most interesting part of the universe.
