42. Columbus was on a very small planet, & looking for

something in particular. He had no idea there was a continent in his way, so I agree it was accidental.

However, even the 'known' universe is immense, and while nothing is impossible, some things are highly improbable.

What are the odds they'd run into us by chance?

And what are the odds after that, aliens would care?

Even humans believe we have a 'monkey mind' so I doubt we're impressive to aliens. They'd probably put us down as Species # 87,463,751 and keep on truckin'. :)
