Can anything live in space

Answer 1

Answer
It is hard to dispell the thought that Earth has the only living organisms in the entire universe. There is no concrete evidence of other lifeforms outside of Earth, but one has to think there has to be somewhere in areas we haven't even looked at with a telescope yet!
We may one day prove that there is life beyond earth, and possibly even beyond our solar system. But we will never be able to prove that there is no life beyond earth.


You can use Drake's equation to determine for yourself however the equation itself is based on your own interpretations
The Drake equation states that: N=R*x Fp x ne x fe x fi x fc x L
where: N is the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;
and R* is the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy fp is the fraction of those stars that have planets ne is the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets fâ„“ is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point fi is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life fc is the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space L is the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space

I hope this helps
There billions and billions and billions and bllions and billions of planets and stuff but anyway today scientist are trying to explore new places in the univers.The ouly living planet today is are home Earth.However Mars use to have water but somehow have been.....well dissapered i guess.So theres no possible answer yet.All we know today is that there's galeys that hold planets.If scientist find away to take pictures of inside in each galexy then the question is reaveld.But as i sayed we dont have the powerful tecnoligy to do that.....YET.People are discovering new things everyday...

Answer 2

Life as we know it requires certain conditions to survive, such as air, water, and a moderate temperature. In the vacuum of space, those conditions are not met. However, there are microbes known as extremophiles that can survive in extreme conditions on Earth, so it's possible that life could exist in space under certain circumstances, such as within the protective environment of a spacecraft or on a planet or moon with the right conditions.

Answer 3

Not yet, and I suspect not for a very long time.

There are some theories that the lack of gravity would allow people to live an extended time, and certainly one of the major causes of death among the elderly are falls. In the zero-gravity environment of a space station, the risk of a fall would be eliminated.

Modern medical science is making great strides in anti-aging medicine; it is entirely possible that there are people who are alive today who will NEVER die. But not many.

However, we do not yet have enough experience in long-term space travel to come to any certain conclusions.

Answer 4

Sure. All you'd need to do before you go there is make sure to take along enough

food, water, air, reading material, toilet paper, radiation shielding, and clean underwear

for the whole time you plan to be there, because you can't get any of those things

on an asteroid.

Answer 5

Sure. Astronauts have been successfully living in space for months at a time. It takes a suitable habitat, with oxygen and water.

Oh, did you mean naked? Yes, you can live in space naked, without any special equipment. For about 20 seconds.

Answer 6

no one really knows except for the aliens, obviously, the government probably knows but they hiding it from us. stupid politicians There is a theory that life came to the Earth from space hitching a ride on comets. This theory is called 'Panspermia'.We are building telescopes to view Earth like planets around other stars and there may be primitive life within our own solar system. Mars is a possibility as are the moons of Jupiter and Saturn namely Europa ,Titan and Enceladus. We are not talking humans or gun toting aliens though.

Answer 7

it might be possible because Europa, one of Jupiter's moons has water in it so scientists will send a machine up hoping to find bactiria or an animal.

An animal isn't likely to be found on Europa. But to answer the question more simply: There are more stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on all of the beaches of all of the world. Each star could potentially have a solar system with it. Now, based on the sheer number of solar systems out there, do you really think that we are the only living things in the universe? Now don't get scared, solar systems we think could be capable of supporting life are so far away you'd have to break the laws of physics to get there (or for them to get to us).

Answer 8

The living Earth is the only known habitat. Statisticians (you know, the folks who lie with figures) claim that because the universe is so big there simply must be life elsewhere, but there is no evidence for it.

Everyone is asking, no one is answering.

We don't know yet...Only God knows.

-----------------

Depends on what you mean by "life." It keeps showing up here on Earth in places we never expected, like volcanic vents in the ocean floor. It now appears that planets are fairly common, and the universe is a very big place. Life may be pretty common. But just as most of the life on this planet isn't what we think of as intelligent, most of the life in the universe probably consists of things like molds, fungi and simple bacteria.

We on Earth are "carbon-based" life forms. It is theoretically possible to base "life" on silicon, and probably some other elements. That increases the chances even more.

On the other hand, the universe is a very big place, so the chances of bumping into one of those other life forms is pretty slim.

-----------------

The government says no as do many other people, for reasons like, theres no air, no water, but what if those life forms don't need air and water? It sure makes you think.

Answer 9

Not that we've yet discovered, no. Many scientists believe it's probable, but so far there's no incontrovertible evidence (scientists aren't sure yet about the meteorites, and the Viking experiment results look more like unexpected chemistry than Biology).

Answer 10

Humans with no equipment cannot live in space. We evolved in an atmosphere, and we need it. Without it, your blood would boil and you would die of hypoxia. Now, trained astronauts can (and do) live up in space while repairing probes and such. Astronauts do with the right tools and protective gear, but without equipment or supplies, without portable oxygen, human life would not be possible.

However, there is no reason why people should not live quite comfortably in pressurized space habitats, just as easily as people live in other inhospitable environments.
