Then, kill all plants!
Way cool.
How will we find life among the stars? Looking for free oxygen (O2), a substance highly unlikely to find in nature, since it reacts with nearly everything not created by a reaction with it. It can only exist free if it is renewed by highly endothermic (energy-absorbing) reactions, such as created by plants.
I personally think that when we truly move into space, we’ll be genetically altering ourselves to fit the planets we choose to live on in a narrow band of environments.
I was actually happy to see this play into a pretty decent sci fi flick i watched the other night. Just hope that the people don’t evolve into canibals specifically adapted to the ship like they did in “Pandorum”.
That was the premise of movies like Alien/s or Red Planet with Val Kilmer where humans sent plant spores to terra-nize the planets for colonization which is the normal step. God knows how hard it is to live amongst brain-dead liberals.
Name any Planet that we know of that can support Fire and that Planet will have Life on it

Sun?
Sorry the sun does not “BURN” as in Fire ... looks similar from our perspective

This article really said nothing to support the title, or about other planets at all. If they have plants the plants may be different. Ok.
Yeah I don’t think many of us expect to find an apple tree on another planet. However in a universe created by God you never know.
Personally I think goats are aliens cause they sure as heck ain’t local.
Many years ago, when the first robotic pix were coming back from Mars, I found what appeared to be pipes in a block of something. Who knows, perhaps Tom Van Flandern was right, Mars was the satellite of a larger planet with lots of water which planet exploded, damaging Mars in the process and ruining the 'resort Moon'.
There are only so many possibilities, and over a sufficiently long enough period they should all be exercised.
It's something most likely built into DNA hundreds of billions of years ago in millions of different universes with which we no longer have contact.
It's pretty obvious DNA is a really smart cookie ~ it self assembles itself into all sorts of configurations, and with its companion RNA, and the use of epigenetics, and now we find, micro-RNA, it can do almost anything it wishes, and does so.
There's a quantum super computer in there somewhere and "it knows what to do".
He pointed out all of this in miniature. There were receding snowbanks depositing sediment, new water channels being formed where there was no grass or other root vegetation to hold it back, snow in the shade which melted far more slowly and unevenly producing entirely different run-off patterns and even miniature canyons being formed where there were conditions of rapid melt and run-off into narrow channels.
Just about all of us came back to the classroom with a better understanding of how our land features formed than we would have learned in a semester of lectures and book reading.
We can plan for the future.
1. Locate a promising candidate planet.
2. Find some dynamic leftists (e.g., Wasserman-Schultz, Harry the Hat, OBummer, etc.) and put them on a spaceship with a bunch of bleeding heart plants and,
3. Bid them adieu.
Bttt.
