Why not send fungi into space
I wonder how much heat is underground in the moon, Mars &al.
How far down would we need to go to have comfortable temperatures? I know in this environmental age, panspermia seems offensive, but if life on solid earth was commenced by a few hardy fungi.. - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://www.panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm http://www.facebook.com/vasjpan2 ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

The Apollo heat flow experiments indicate that the lunar surface is losing heat at values around 20% those of Earth, so temperatures are going to increase with depth. However, we don't really know what the thermal structure of the Moon looks like with depth, so there's no way to say how deep you'd have to go to get to a particular temperature. : :The jury is still out on whether Mars has a hot core, although it :doesn't have a magnetic field like Earth's molten core gives it. : Again, this doesn't mean it doesn't still get warmer with depth. -- "Rule Number One for Slayers - Don't die." * * * * * * * * * * * -- Buffy, the Vampire Slayer As with our unusual moon, whereas most of the radioactive elements are held within the thick crust. Below that robust lunar crust could be relatively low density and cool stuff, at best warm (not hot). ~ BG |

Its core isn't very massive, and it's an offset core by 10% radii. The moon should also be at least 0.1% hollow. Panspermia is most likely what seeded Earth, because most everything out there is a hell of a lot older than Earth. ~ BG |
