#1 Terraformation » Sending extremophiles to Mars » 2013-09-29 00:28:09

Hello all,

I have a rather simple question. Are there any obstacles in sending extremophiles to Mars to study how they react to the environment?  Maybe some of them would survive and it would be great to monitor how they do it.

It would be a very interesting and probably popular biological research. The funding could even be obtained for example from Kickstarter (with proper marketing - like "contribute to seeding first life to Mars" etc.).

As an additional bonus, in the long run it would be an insurance to life in our solar system (in case something happens to the earth).

Appreciate your thoughts on this topic.
Kind regards,
