#Extremophiles that can digest #radiation ☢️ and toxicities are already used to clean up everything from oil spills to the fallout of radioactive sites.
This means we could #engineer microbes that are resistant to freezing ❄️ temperatures and high levels of radiation.
Given that #microbes 🦠 helped make Earth habitable, we could use synthetic #biology to engineer microbes to speed up a similar process for #Mars 🔴 https://theconversation.com/how-to-engineer-microbes-to-enable-us-to-live-on-mars-253456

“ • A survey of Lake Michigan located at least 40 large craters on the lakebed.
• Initial studies highlighted the spots as unknown shapes, but additional research revealed the craters are filled with marine life.
• Researchers expect to investigate further, seeing how these craters formed and if they’re really sinkholes…"
