Or maybe it's the Red Duncanites who destroy anyone who might inhibit their freedom.

In general, THS does not appear to assume that access to world destroying weapons lead to the world actually being destroyed, thus, for example, nukes not being used during the Pacific War. So let us continue with that assumption rather than abandoning it in service of functionally dismissing the scenario.

The movie plot is contrived at best and silly at worst, as the human motivations and methods don't really make much sense. So obviously they will not re-enact the movie. However, I think it's quite reasonable to assume that if we discovered alien life in the neighboring solar system, as well as extremely valuable natural resources, we would go visit them.
