Yeah, something like that.
So the science reveals that life is resilient.
When I started that project, I told my husband, I said, this is going to be very fast.
We are going in such nasty environment that we're not going to find anything.
And, you know, we're back home fairly soon.
So 20 years later, we are still studying those environments.
Well, the UV environment is so nasty.
But there you find the same microorganism
that made the very first fossils on Earth 3.5 billion years ago.
And they keep surviving.
They developed an adaptation, Swiss Armina, if you prefer.
And so you learn about that.
You learn about what they are.
how they adapt through times and through environmental changes, which is really important.
What are their signatures?
We learn to recognize them.
We learn what kind of instrument we need, what kind of signature, whether it's chemical or morphological or whatnot.
So basically, we learn how to explore.
But I would say that to me, and this is a realization, interestingly enough, that came three years into the project,
I really woke up literally one morning saying, you know, we have been coming here for three years now, trying to understand how to search for life on Mars.
