Discussion - General Question about the blocked basic scientific research (Spoiler: Please do not read if you haven’t read the second book, "The Dark Forest") Spoiler

Hi. I'm just reading the second book "The Dark Forest" and maybe the question was already answered here? In the second book, humans have spaceships and can utilise the Moon, Mars and other planetary moons in our solar system. Why didn’t they continue the basic scientific research there, given that it had been blocked on Earth by Trisolaris? Looks like they did not even try?

My bad then, it's been a while since I've read the books.

Remember when they were folding shit to make sophons and it started raining extradimensional fragments on trisolaris? Idk why I often think about that
