And then, of course, there's the energy storage.

I hope I'm not giving away too much.

But like in the movie, the way they power these interstellar spacecraft is using the microorganism itself as a sort of engine being like, hey, we discovered this thing that can store energy from the sun.

If we use it in an engine, we can burst out huge amounts of energy and go from star to star.

Now, are we often too Earth-centric?

Which is to say, are we often, when we imagine aliens, even in science fiction, we kind of picture them as humans?

And this is a much better portrayal, like an exotic microorganism that looks nothing like what we've seen on Earth.

It eats stars.

It sort of colonizes solar systems.

Is this the kind of big, wild thinking we need to do when we try to pretend or imagine what could be out there in the cosmos?

Or is it going to be green men that are basically humans with bigger heads?

Well, they show the rock alien in the trailer for the movie, Rocky.

So I feel like we're not giving away too much.

It's like a half humanoid, half rock creature.

Too many spoilers.

Yeah, yeah.

But even that seems a little bit far-fetched to me because although they're rocks, they seem just so human.

They have language.

I actually think bacteria or small microorganisms, that's probably what we're going to find.

I have no basis with which to make this claim, though.
