Clinical Professor, Greg Autry has made the staggering claim that the solar system is "full of life" when asked if aliens exist.
Appearing on GBN America, Patrick asked the professor if he believes that "aliens exist", as speculation continues surrounding the existence of extraterrestrial life in space.
Autry responded: "I like to tell folks that I was the White House liaison at NASA. So you would think that if they did, I would know.
"And I'm going to tell you now, there are no intelligent aliens that have come to the Earth to visit us.

"We do think, though, and most scientists believe, that we'll find a solar system and a galaxy full of life.
"Probably not much of it is intelligent, but I believe somewhere that they are out there, they're not wasting their time spending the massive energy to come to the earth, only to hang outside of US military bases and hide badly. That doesn't seem realistic."

The professor discussed the space race and explained that while Joe Biden’s administration has carried on much of the work initiated by Trump, it has done so to a lesser extent.
“The Trump administration did more to advance space travel in the US since the 1960s, the Kennedy era. We committed to returning to the Moon.
“We established a US Space Force to focus our capabilities and people in that domain for success.
“We re-established the National Space Council. There were several other initiatives, it was a comprehensive move forward.

Asked why such operations are so important, he said: “When you think about the resource limitations which we’re beginning to see on Earth to some degree, you have to look to somewhere else.
“Space has a lot of the things we really need. We want to make sure we’re in a position to get to those resources before our competitors, frankly, China, tie them up.”
In 2020, Trump signed an executive order stating America has the right to explore and use resources from outer space.

It’s said that a number of important resources can be harvested on the Moon, which has not been ventured to since 1972.
The last crewed mission was Apollo 17 which broke records such as the longest space walk and the longest lunar landing.
According to Autry, Trump sought to do similar and could do the same if he regains the White House.
But he could face competition, with the professor claiming Russia and China are making significant strides.
