I love documentaries about space, but I think the goal is flawed and unnecessary. Let's explore for other habitable planets, or useful materials, or even just for the sheer joy of it.
Stop spending millions on an agenda like this.
Can you find a source supporting your number one goal claim? There is a ton of space research that has nothing to do with finding life.
