Can we Grow Life outside our planet ?

The theory of origin of life is still one of the biggest unsolved mystery. 🐣
Well, there could be many possible reasons or might be life is a resultant condition. But the most accepted is ‘Theory of Chemical Evolution’ which accounts the origin of life on this planet in terms of spontaneous chemical reactions and evolution of organic chemicals.

In addition to the origin, Species differentiation and presence of a wide range of organisms on this planet is itself a big mystery. Concept of ‘Evolution’ was coined to approach the probable cause of this wide biodiversity, but there are some questions which are still unexplained by this theory. Even chemical evolution is unable to present any practical demonstration by artificial formation of a single living cell.

Theories of evolution are much supported by the factors like adaptations, variations due to sexual reproduction, genetic drift etc. And the notion of Mutation, gives it a huge motion ! 🐾
But today when I was reading a news report about Mars Orbital Mission, I just lost in deep thoughts of 👽 aliens and ET's. Then suddenly a thought coined into my mind. So I decided to write about it and share with all of you.


💭 I suggest that we have to use our knowledge of biotechnology and DNA recombination techniques to develop some ‘species samples’ 🌱 with artificial changes in their DNA. Then to grow these newly formed species under artificial laboratory conditions similar to some other planets of our Universe where life supporting conditions could be present. And to send these ‘species samples’ on desired planets. If these samples grow, reproduce and adapt conditions of those planets, then it would be so easy for us to understand the mechanism of life and to better understand our own origin. 🌏
