reports. Water is essential to life, but it also breaks apart molecules like DNA and proteins, a paradox that has long puzzled scientists.
Although chemists have created key components of cells by hitting chemical-based chemicals with ultraviolet radiation and subjecting them to dry and wet cycles, they have been unable to produce the same effects in seawaterlike conditions. Instead, researchers propose, life may have formed on bodies of water on land—perhaps formed by craters, like the Manicouagan Reservoir —where there was intermittent availability of water as well as enough UV radiation from sunlight.

We Could Simulate Living in Lunar Lava Tubes in Caves on EarthSimulation is key to space exploration. Scientists and engineers test as many scenarios as possible before subjecting their projects to the harshness of space. It should not be any different with the future living quarters of explorers on the Moon. One of the most commonly cited locations for a future permanent lunar base is in … Continue reading 'We Could Simulate Living in Lunar Lava Tubes in Caves on Earth'
