Why aren't we sending vessels with extremophile species to exoplanets right now?

If a meteor were to hit our planet in the next week, we'd all die out and humanity was for nothing.

Why not send species out into the cosmos to hopefully crash land on a planet to guarantee life's survival in case of Earth's destruction?

The Israelis accidentally crash landed on the moon and released a bunch of tardigrades.
This was relatively recent too.

at least no one will be around to mourn such a tragic loss.

In the next probe to Mars they should bring a few big inflatable pools; filled with various liquids and materials, mini terraniums, mini exo systems, a few blow up green houses,
Fill them with all sorts of petri dishes and microbes, and stuff, and then check back on it in some time and see what happens.

Also the rover should plant plants, cactuses and stuff I guess

Good way to irreversibly destroy any alien ecosystem it finds before we even get a chance to study it, sure

The golden rule applies to the galaxy too, you wouldn't want aliens to send their germs here, so don't send yours there

I'm just simply saying, would you like it if aliens came to earth and destroyed all life?

So I geuss it is true your response may be, if thats a possibility, you must do it tothem before they have a chance to deliberate doin it to you

Why is this necessary and why should I care? If the universe is meant to have life in it, it won't need my help.

Its not reciprocal. You dont get space credit for good behaviour

fair point. it won't survive just because some idiot sent space probes.
but then again i would just like to see what evolutionary changes happen in the time between us sneding out random probes to managing to navigate to what worlds they inhabit.

1. because fuck those nigger bugs! Only humans matter
2. just because an organism is extremophile doesn't mean it will become millions/billions of years old until it lands on a planet
3. just because an organism is extremophile doesn't mean it will procreate under extreme condition. It means it can (barely) survive under extrem conditions
4. I hope you're a 13 yo retard with down-syndrome because this niggerlicious question is so retardedly dumb I would loose hope in humanity if you were to be a student or smth

pls dont procreate (as extremophiles in space)

fine line between extremophile species and a tirade of universal assemblers. I wonder if you could craft together team algae bloom, hurling basic proteins, dna and tardigrades near c in microscopic spaceships.

but yes to your point, we should also start with space, and select for size over many, many, many generations

The powerful deserve their victory, no matter what life form they are.
Are you some kind of fucking speciesist or something? In what world do you think you and your race of "superior" humans better than the hypothetical overlords who traveled literally farther than our technology could scan and obliterated every single life form on our planet?
