Life probably we think most likely started in one of these very extreme environments. In some respects, it's close enough that we can test out some of these theories before we go out into space. Could you pump as much water in the ocean as is to be added per year by the melting ice and then put it in a rocket and ship it to Mars? Oh, so that you don't have, so that in climate change, we don't flood the coastal city. Thus saving coastal cities and accelerating Mars projects.
