Wow.  That's an incredibly tight focus!

I've always recommended targeting "all human beings" (including blind,
color-blind, and physically handicapped people) mostly because I think
those damn Martians and Jovians are a bunch of whiners.  They should
stop complaining about being excluded and just learn to live at one
Earth gravity like normal right-thinking people.  Working towards a
maximally useful product wastes resources, and the aliens will never
buy Earth goods anyway.
