[ RadSafe ] Evolution, radiation, space travel, etc.

[Jess L. Addis III]

Good quote David, but wouldn't shouldn't it have been prefaced by "Damn it
Jim"?

If you don't understand the significance of the quote (and care) Google the
term "Horta".

Someday, I believe we will find an organism here on this planet that
requires radiation to survive, absorbs italmost completely, and can form a
biofilm.  We will use this organism to protect our fragile little bodies
from the extremes of space and travel beyond our current abilities of
imagination. I just hope we do not blow up intelligent rocks for there
mineral content.

Musing and dreaming,

John
