1
00:00:04,590 --> 00:00:02,369
what kinds of stories have inspired you

2
00:00:06,030 --> 00:00:04,600
to want to explore more about life I'm

3
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:06,040
going to go back to my childhood again

4
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:08,260
watching Star Trek and I remember an

5
00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:10,120
episode and they're on a planet and

6
00:00:14,249 --> 00:00:11,679
there are these rocks that are like it's

7
00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:14,259
a rock organism and and Captain Kirk is

8
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,720
really like what you know and and Bones

9
00:00:21,150 --> 00:00:18,640
goes you know I think it was might have

10
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:21,160
been Spock is like it's not a car that's

11
00:00:25,230 --> 00:00:23,260
not a carbon-based organism that's a

12
00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:25,240
silica-based organism and I remember

13
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:27,220
being like wait there are silica-based

14
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:29,080
organisms you know and like you know I

15
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:31,119
was like five years old but honestly

16
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:33,700
that has stuck with me as sort of this

17
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:35,800
way to conceptualize life on other

18
00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:37,840
planets and sort of watching this
