Us humans had been wanting to go to Mars and live there for so long. We’ve been thinking a lot about how we’re gonna survive on Mars. Now, scientists thought that maybe we could add an organism’s DNA into ours. And that creature is called tardigrades, the reason they chose this organism is because they can survive the vacuum of space.
Planting tardigrades’ DNA into ours really benefits us and that can make us explore more things or knowledge that we still don’t know. For example, this technique can allow astronauts to travel to Europa, which is widely regarded as one of the solar system’s best bets to harbor alien life. But another problem is that there are more dangerous things or more extoxic things there in the universe, and those are still unknown. Here is a quote from a scientist: “If we ever get there, those are the cases where the human body would be almost completely fried by the amount of radiation,” Mason said. “There, it would be certain death unless you did something, including every kind of shielding you could possibly provide.”
Humans are always inventing ideas to help the knowledge of astronomy. But there’s a long way ahead of us waiting for us to explore.
