Do we have technology to manufacture a microbe or bacterium to given specifications? Can they assemble fragments of DNA from different living things to achieve one thing that might live on Mars?
Or how do they plan to "make an organism that could grow outside on Mars"? The mentioning of existing organisms that can do or whistand various things is cool, but how would they use that?
- hoseja 2y agoIf we tried? Probably. Nobody will let you seriously try, on Earth at least.
