  Good question 🙂
  Space is still very unknown…it’s a relatively new area of science. Space is vast…no one knows for sure how big it is and what is out there. I love meteorites because they are so old…as old as the solar system, 4.65 Billion years!…AND THEY COME FROM SPACE!! I can’t think of anything cooler than that.
  I haven’t found anything living in space…I probably won’t with my research but there is still every chance that there my be some bacteria deep in the crust on Mars and the re are some of the moons of the gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn that may have liquid water on them so there may be some life there (Europa, Jupiter’s moon and Ganymede, Saturn’s moon) but it would be single celled organisms…very primitive…if there is anything there at all.
  Fingers crossed though, eh?
