Welcome to planet earth…
It’s a nice place,
as far as planets go,
and depending on your tastes…
Geologically active,
though only modestly so…
Temperature ranges are mostly stable,
depending on your sensitivity…
Its surface is mostly water…
liquid form…
though some of it remains frozen…
Radiation levels more stable than most…
thanks to a robust magnetic field…
All in all not the most remarkable rock upon which to contemplate the universe
until you notice its one exceptional feature…
As some of you may have already noticed,
Planet Earth is teeming with life!
And what a wonderful diversity,
variety,
and symbiotic complimentary complexity of life forms…
The organisms that have arisen here
are some of the most marvelously amazing metabolisms you could ever imagine…
Perfect subjects for study,
as I’m sure you will agree…
Watch your step,
try not to disturb them too much as you conduct your research…
And while you are here be sure to tune into…
