life expands to fit the space it's given. pretty much every habitable niche on Earth has something living there, extending even well down into the planet. we probably should be helping things along by sending craft filled with various single-celled organisms (& some tardigrades for good measure) to places where life isn't found (do the research first; no need to overwrite what could already be there) but might be able to get a toehold.
