Attempting to understand that using chemistry and physics and biology, and because we can, that's the ultimate gift we can give back to the entire species on this planet.

I think when you understand the magnitude of what happened here, there is no room for arrogance.

It should overwhelm you and humiliate.

It's pretty humiliating.

It's quite amazing what happened here.

And there is no other discipline that will...

but exploring our own origins and looking at life as a more planetary system phenomena rather than one single species at a time, a collective look.

It's having a planet full of life is interesting because there are, we talked about

life being all about chemistry, exploring solutions.

And having solutions in front of you is great.

It's beneficial, right?

Oh, that's an interesting solution.

Now you think like an origin of life science.

But having this emptiness and the unpredictability of uncovering a novel solution can also have its own benefits.

And we should be open to what other solutions might be out there and exploring those solutions.

To their own local environment, yes.

It's a wide open palette, if you think about it.

I don't quite know.

We know the chemistry is chemistry.

I don't think the chemistry will be different elsewhere.
