As opposed to interest in Astronauts circling the earth in the Internation Space Station...doing what? Scratching themselves?
There is pretty much zero interest in space development aside from commsats and tourism, neither of which involve development of celestial resources. There is zero interest in NASA, and nobody is even aware that NASA was going to be looking for new habitable worlds, which doesn't matter anyway since the 1967 Treaty would prohibit development of new planets if found.
