Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #78: Life In Space

Such is life… - Does life arise from extremophiles or do extremophiles arise from life?  It’s unclear whether such organisms arose in such unfriendly environments or whether life on Earth might have begun in one of Charles Darwin’s imagined warm little ponds and then evolved and expanded its reach into more hostile environments. - Will we have pets in space?   So, firstly while having a pet in space might be a good thing for the owner, it’s also important to consider whether it’s going to be good for the pet.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
