The Origin of Life and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life
14:23 - 20:53 (06:30)
The study of the origin of life heavily focuses on understanding it on Earth, but what about the possibility of life originating on planets like Mars? Geochemistry plays a significant role in the development of life and while currently there is no evidence of extraterrestrial life, the search continues through exploring and understanding different planetary processes.

Summary
Life is intimately tied to planetary cycles and grew out of geochemistry, becoming coupled and controlled by this process. Life may be considered as a planetary phenomenon and may only thrive on planets that are geochemically compatible with it.
