Relationship between organisms, their habitat & non-Earth environment

Slide 10

Biosphere

  • Organisms and their habitat fully isolated from the environment

Terraforming

  • Changing the environment to become a life-friendly habitat

Genetic Engineering

  • Changing organisms to become more compatible with the

environment

Slide 11

The surfaces of the Moon and Mars are extremely hostile for humans

  • Little or no air
  • Cosmic radiation
  • Meteorite impacts, direct and

secondary

  • Extreme temperature variations

Purdue Discovery! Large lava tubes on the Moon

GRAIL Players from AAE and EAPS:

Slide 13

Terrestrial lava tubes are small, but we found evidence for much larger cavities beneath the Moon’s surface

Earthly lava tube: Respectable size, but nowhere near what we infer for the Moon!
