22. Life Beyond Earth

Hovering 600 kilometers above Earth, you enter a realm of extremes where the very concept of temperature swings wildly between scorching heat and bone-chilling cold. This isn’t a place for the faint of heart; it’s a void where life’s basics—sound to hear, air to breathe, and even the right pressure to keep us together—are starkly absent.

It paints a clear picture: space is inherently inhospitable, a vacuum that defies our earthly understanding of life. Yet, this harsh reality also magnifies the marvel of human space exploration, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and venturing into the unknown. Life in space, as we know it, is impossible, and yet, we find ways to make the impossible a reality.
