We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.
If you had an alien race that looked like insects, then they would build robots to look like themselves, not to look like people.
The fact that people will pay you to talk to people and travel to interesting places and write about what intrigues you, I am just amazed by that.
