  But the only gas discovered in the atmosphere so far is helium, probably in the upper atmosphere, which on its own would not support life.

  But there may be other, more life-sustaining gases, lower down.

      Assuming communications travelled at light-speed, yes, “insane” is a word.

      You could hold a conversation over a dozen generations.
