Meet the 'Indiana Jones' of NASA
February 5, 2010 | Length: 00:02:26
NASA scientist Chris McKay takes his work to the far reaches of planet Earth, studying extreme conditions in order to find life on other planets. Through the collection and study of various Earth minerals and organic content, he hopes to understand how life can exist on other planets. He is also researching climate change and how we can better manage our own planet.

RE: Meet the 'Indiana Jones' of NASA
Hello;
I am extremely interested in your search for "life" and was wondering why you are searching deserts for sign of life? I have spent a lot of time thinking about life, how it came to be, how "it" evolves and develops and the mechanisms involved in determining when a change should occur.
I believe that "life" is a great big, complex algorithm with a prime purpose of existing, and with that objective seeks to find and exploit an opportunity. We, as humans, spend our time through life seeking something but don't know what it is. Each of us are observers of all that is around us and our subconscious filters our observations. Some how these observations are gathered from us and opportunities found and so minute changes are made in some of us, and so evolution evolves to begin to fill the observed opportunity. I believe that the mechansims involved in this gathering process are what we term "6th sense". Which is in fact communication. We subconsciously communicate successfully or otherwise with those around us. We gel together, and when we fail to communicate we break apart. (Marriage and Divorce?) I had a personal experience many years ago with the death of my father who lived 40 miles away. On the day of his death I deliberately cancelled appointments and took my family to my parents house, knowing I had to get there but not the reasons why? The force was all compelling and that got me to thinking about how or why did I "know" I had to get there? There had to be some form of communication either made or lost; maybe lost because I knew I had to get there but not the reasons why. Since then I have spent a lot of time thinking about life. I would appreciate having a dialogue with someone like you, with your objectives, experience and knowledge? Since the artilce appeared I have dithered about making contact with you. I have tentatively discussed some of my ideas with biologists and friends, but a little afraid of making a fool of my self as they are radical ideas. Your search of the deserts to some degree gels with my own ideas of how life began, and I believe it was not in the sea, near the sea in a depositive area, rich in minerals, open to the sun and some distance from volcanoes.
If you would be interested in exploring more of these thoughts my email address is bill@nineoaks-fisheries.co.uk (I own Trout and Coarse fishing lakes)?
Mant thanks for an interesting article.
Best regards;
Bill Baker

RE: Meet the 'Indiana Jones' of NASA
This seems like a risky weather modification possibility...Creating even a small change in the natural convection of the earths temperature via oceans currents drastically affects life over the whole planet..
I would think a filter half way between the earth and sun could be controlled in the summer period to tweak power balancethe heat absorption.. a disk rotating at a rate of 1 cycle every two years, with a controlled variable diameter to increase or lessen the heating effect..

>> When I went to school I studied physical science, physics in particular, got interested in astronomy, from astronomy got interested in planets and then from planets got interested in life and then I realized that life was all around me right here on earth and the best way to study it was to go to places on earth where life is living in conditions like we expect on other planets. Right now I'm focused on exploring the Polar Regions and also deserts, basically places on earth that are dry, cold and dry, hot and dry. So I just came back from 2 months in Antarctica studying a place called the Dry Valley, very, very cold, very, very dry studying how life survives in those dry, cold places. Typically when we go out to the field we'll bring with us a bunch of equipment that we'll leave in place, that we'll monitor the environment, it'll monitor the climate, it'll monitor the organisms, what they're doing, how they're living. We'll also take samples, bring them back to the lab and study them with microscopes and extracting DNA and looking at the soil mineralogy and the organic content. One of the interesting things we're found is that the environments we study, deserts and polar regions, not only are relevant to the search for life on Mars, but they're relevant to understanding global warming on earth. It seems that these desert environments are very sensitive to climate so we've been studying them for decades now because of their connection to Mars and suddenly we see a new relevance to our work and understanding these ecosystems as the first responders if you will to global warming. Where I want to go with my research is more in depth studies of dry and cold environments on earth and then take that to Mars and craft a mission that will search for and hopefully discover evidence of life on Mars and understand what that life is and how it came to be all the while generating information and helps us understand life as a phenomenon and how to manage the earth better.
