Engineers that engineer those machines and stuff we send in space know almost nothing about the human body.
While there are more doctors than space engineers, said doctors mostly use previous knowledge to cure you. Only few try to find new cures and as we find more cures, the bacterias and viruses adapt too (it's another debate as to why, but it's also partially our fault).
Cancer as a disease, for example, is one of the diseases that's actually adapted along time and new types of cancer emerged. That said, there are ways to destroy types of cancer, the issue is that they also destroy healthy cells. You see, cancer is not an actual virus that the immune system can fight against, cancer sometimes is your cells that have mutated or even your immune system itself. We don't know how to create a cure that can differentiate between the mutated cells and the healthy ones properly yet. We've done advances... but very slow.

But maybe they find a planet made out of cure outside in space!
The correlation you pulled out of your arse for this cracks me up.
Sure OP, let's divert all our resources to one single cause. That's a good way to progress I'm sure.

Most of our technological advances came from the space program.
Maybe because the two skill sets are unrelated and while it would be nice to cure all disease, the number of people with the required skills is limited? Throwing the NASA or Defense budget at disease research won't necessarily get them cured faster as long as the manpower working on them remains the same, and your average NASA or DoD worker isn't going to have a clue what to do in a bio-research lab.

On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.
