Space…
The final frontier…
That and the microbiome…
One…
Lives in us…
The other…
We may one day live in…
And yes, yes, I know…
we already live in space
And are thriving as a species on a habitable planet in space…
But it wasn’t always so…
We spent billions of years evolving to make it habitable.
And when I say we,
I of course mean all the life forms that came before us…
For we are but the recipients of evolution’s bounty,
not the creators of it…
If we humans cast long shadows,
it is only because it is so late in the day.
Now we are reaching an age of opportunity…
To truly test what no one has tested before…
Can we survive on a less habitable planet?
An inhospitable planet?
Unaided by billions of years of habitable evolution,
Can we translate what we have learned here on Earth
To the rest of the cosmos?
If we are to try this,
if we are to make the attempt,
and if we are to succeed…
It will be because of This Week In Science,
Coming Up Next…
