Extremophiles: The Key to Martian Colonization
Introduction to Extremophiles Extremophiles are remarkable organisms that thrive in extreme conditions where most life cannot survive. Found in some of the planet’s harshest environments, such as deep-sea vents, acidic lakes, and frozen tundras, these resilient organisms offer crucial insights for astrobiologists. Their unique adaptations not only allow them to endure extreme temperatures, radiation, and…
