Humans are not adapted to space. The natural space environment would kill a human due to the lack of pressure, atmosphere, heat, and the exposure to radiation. Therefore, when traversing from one vehicle or habitat to another, the vehicles or habitats need to be docked together, or the spacefarer needs to be in a spacesuit, since a human in space must have a spacesuit of some kind to supply the ...

Theorists had wondered how the building blocks of life, randomly scattered on the shores of primitive oceans, could continuously congregate and organize ... in living organisms. The result had suggested a mechanism for incorporating this life-specific building block into the first DNA-like material. Scientists had previously applied electric discharges or other energy ...
