10 Relationship between organisms, their habitat & non-earth environment 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 10

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 Slide 11

12 Purdue Discovery! Large lava tubes on the Moon GRAIL Players from AAE and EAPS: Rohan Sood, Loic Chappaz, Jay Melosh, Kathleen Howell, David Blair, Colleen Milbury Slide 12

13 Terrestrial lava tubes are small, but we found evidence for much larger cavities beneath the Moon s surface Blair, Chappaz, Sood, Milbury, Bobet, Melosh, Howell, Freed, LPSC Earthly lava tube: Respectable size, but nowhere near what we infer for the Moon! Slide 13
