    1) The passage discusses the possibility of life existing on other planets and suggests it may be more advanced than humans, having merged with machines. 2) Within the next million years, the passage argues that humans and machines may become so closely intertwined that individuals no longer have a separate sense of personality. 3) The explorers of space should therefore be prepared to encounter vastly different forms of alien life on other planets that have evolved under different environmental conditions than Earth. The main theme is that life on other planets may have evolved in very different ways than on Earth under their unique environmental conditions over long periods of evolutionary time.

    Life on Other Planets

    From Flight into Space


    By J.N. Leonard

    When imaginative men turn their eyes toward space and


    wonder whether life exists in any part of it, they may cheer
    themselves by remembering that life needs not to resemble closely
    the life that exists on earth. Mars looks like the only planet where life
    like ours could exist and even this is doubtful. Even more interesting
    is the possibility that life on other planets may be in a more advanced
    stage of evolution. The present-day man is in a peculiar and probably
    fleeting stage. His individual units retain a strong sense of
    personality. They are in fact, still capable of favorable circumstances
    of leading individual lives. But man’s societies already sufficiently
    developed to have enormously more power and effectiveness than
    the individuals have.
    It is not likely that this transitional situation will continue very
    long on the evolutionary time scale. Fifty thousand years from now
    his societies may have become too close-knit that the individuals
    retain no sense of separate personality. Then little distinction will
    remain between the organic parts of the multiple organisms and the
    inorganic parts (machines) that have been constructed by it. A million
    years further on and a million years is a tick of the clock on the
    evolutionary time scale man and his machines may have merged as
    closely as the muscles of the human body and the nerve cells that
    actuate them.
    The explorers of space should be prepared for some such
    situations. If they arrive on a foreign planet when its living organisms
    are in an earlier stage of evolution, they may find the equivalent of
    dinosaurs or mollusks or even one-celled protozoa. They could live in
    very hot or very cold planets. They could breathe any atmosphere or
    none. They could build their bodies to any desirable size out of
    material plentiful in their planet’s crust. They could get their energy
    from sunlight. Such creatures might be relics of a bygone age, many
    millions of years ago, when their planet was favorable to the origin of
    life, or they might be immigrants from a favored planet.
