Summary
| Description | Caye Johnson, a former biologist from NASA's Ames Research Center, narrates footage from 1969 of researchers examining samples of Moon rocks and soil that astronauts brought back from the Apollo 11 mission. The researchers were looking for signs of life endemic to the Moon, as well as organic compounds that are the basic building blocks of life. Of course, no lunar life was found in these samples, and we now know that the Moon does not harbor life. Nevertheless, these tests became the first time that NASA retrieved samples from another world to look for life on that world. |
