You will be happy to know that scientists are still working diligently in space to try to extend life beyond our own planet. (see full article here) The space station has been expanded and they are having a good time up there apparently. They are working at an accelerated pace because we have spent so much on the space program over the years that we have let planet earth just go to the dogs. Hopefully, they discover a clean-new planet soon because time is running out.
Since 1961 over 400 people from all over the world have ventured into space, so you can see how efficient it it will be for the billions of residents of planet earth to venture forth to our clean-new planet.
So far, the effort to find a way to extend life beyond our own planet has been fruitless, so has the quest to find a way that the space program has benefited Americans beyond the invention of Styrofoam...but they are still working on it.;) It seems to me they are essentially building a very-expensive ark.
