I can see the lack of input is frustrating, i too am so frustrated about the lack of testable results, but that is of no concern, so long as there exists a way forward, what is the way we should go?

What do you mean lack of input - it's the most observable science.
All those telescopes aren't just cool bits of engineering ( actually they are, but we let astrophysicts use them if they have clean hands! )
