Think about it, We have found no metals on Mars, Venus or any other planets (correct me on this) and if so I believ there are stronger and more restistant elements in space and planets like a lightweight metal able to stand many times the heat during the Space Shuttle's descent into the earth's atmosphere. Anyway, if you have any information on this, I would really thank you for posting it for me. Thanks people.

Well the earth has 99.9 percent of all the known elements in space or not, the 1 percent may seem small but that count's for thousands of gas compounds. Vote for me, i have the best answer....please?

We absolutely have on this earth the elements that make up 99.99% of the universe.We were able to manufacture a few extra in the lab. However, the elements with over 100 protons in the nuclei gets very unstable. It would be almost impossible to keep it together under any circumstances out in space.

Yep.
Maybe new compounds but no new elements. All the stable elements (and a few of the unstable ones) that can exist, already exist on earth.
Metallic alloys however, that's another story. and if it doesn't exist on earth we can fabricate it from stuff that does exist on earth. Either way it's not feasible to hunt around in space for new ideas. Much cheaper to pay for engineers and scientists to scratch their heads for a few days.

To assume that the elements that we have discovered are all that can be is extremely pretentious. The universe is a big place. No scientist would claim that every possible element has been discovered. We don't know. Just because we can't make it or see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It is possible that we will never discover any new elements. Even that wouldn't prove they aren't there, only that we didn't find them. You cannot prove a negative.

differnt eliment are created during a supernova so it is posible that there are eliments out there that are not on the periotic table, they just dont exist here. i have hear that in theroy an eliment could be so large that you could consider it non-radioactive because its half life would be so very long, plus what about antimater there could be a whole galixce out there made of anitmater

Certainly not. HOWEVER We dont know all the elements in the earth.

no its not universe is versatile and cant say about all gases ....and infact we cant think of that
