That is not funny.
I am reading a new book where 500 million humans got snatched off
Earth before Earth was destroyed.? All of the humans got their
bodies
rolled back to age 25 regardless of their older ages.? Everyone's
clothes were extremely loose due to significantly lesser weight.

????Have you ever read Philip Jose Farmer's Riverworld
series?
????Aliens who have been watching for a long time resurrect
the hominid
population of Earth along with homo saps. They are put them in a world
where everything is provided while aging and dying are eliminated.?
The
planet of
Riverworld is one long river with high banks around the river.? One
of the
interesting lives is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Power wars break out.
Modern contrivances are contrived.
????The series gets boring after a while at least to me. But
the initial
book is excellent.

I DNF'd on the Riverworld series. No spaceships.
Sorry to hear of your disappointment.
I did finish it but, as bliss notes, it got old.
