Tormod Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 Here's a pretty cool site. It is about 6 different kinds of extremely hardy lifeforms found on Earth, and how they may teach us about life elsewhere in the solar system. http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/AlienSafari_launch_page.html Quote
Boerseun Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 Sheesh... I think throughout the entire universe, the ice worm is probably the most alien thing we'll ever run into! Quote
TheFaithfulStone Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 Neato. I want a pet ice worm. If only they were bigger, I could train them as evil minions in my bid for world domination! TFS Quote
somebody Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 i am kind of amazed by those radioactive bacterias, they seem interesting, since we know earth is full of nuclear weapons! Quote
Tormod Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Posted January 26, 2006 i am kind of amazed by those radioactive bacterias, they seem interesting, since we know earth is full of nuclear weapons! They were featured as Astronomy Picture of the Day just a few days back. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060122.html Quote
Jay-qu Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 Thats pretty nuts, just shows that life isnt always 'as we know it' - I also dont see why these extremes cant be taken even further in other parts of the universe, I guess we will just have to wait to find out! Quote
pmaust Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 That was pretty cool! Thanks for sharing. :( Quote
