You can think of it as sending fertilizer to a different planet that is missing its own chemical composition or lacking, or that it needs more of what it has.

The difference between making that planet Earth-like, which was, this is not what that's about.

We're not talking about terraforming or we're not talking about turning that planet into Earth-like system.

We are talking about first understanding that planet

studying its chemistry, studying its properties well enough to understand whether it is close to its own chemical revolution and maybe giving it that extra nudge.

So this is obviously a pretty big speculation and suggestion.

And it's a very interesting proposition because this is a yes or no question, right?

This is the ultimate would you rather.

And I think it says a lot about the perception of the person who's answering this question.

That if the answer is, no, no, no, absolutely not.

That's not something we want to do.

I want to know why that is the case.

The proposition is to also make us think that we will likely have this capacity at some point, especially when we understand origin of life better and better, right?

So we will be asking ourselves this question.

I guess I wanted to bring this to daylight a little bit because maybe in 10, 20 years, maybe more.

Or enable the chemical capacity of that planet that it may one day itself get there.

Well, the worst thing that can happen is that it wouldn't work, right?

So that it's not a...

likely it's not likely that an attempt like this would work that's probably because how do you you gotta be very you know you have to have an understanding that I don't think we have just yet I see because if it doesn't work then we could try again right

Yeah, I can see why.
