    The question of the origin of life on earth has been pursued by human beings, and many conjectures have been put forward. Especially in the early days, everyone believed in the idea of "creationism", especially creationism, which is hardly believed anymore. There is another view of the "cosmic life theory", that is, the original origin of life on the earth came from outer space, that is, "life on the ground, flying from the sky", but in fact, this explanation cleverly avoids the question of the origin of life, because life should always have a source.

    At present, it should be recognized by mainstream science as the "chemical origin theory", which states that life originated on the earth and synthesized organic matter from the original simple inorganic matter in some special environment, so as to form simple life step by step. The most famous is the Miller experiment, which simulated the atmosphere of the early Earth and simulated lightning through electric shocks, and in this way obtained new substances, and finally the presence of amino acids was detected in these substances. Amino acids are the basic units for the formation of proteins.

    This is only the first step in the formation of life, the formation of simple organic matter is the basis for the emergence of life, after which simple organic matter begins to accumulate in the primordial oceans to form proteins and nucleotides, which is the second step. Following this procedure, simple single-celled life began to form, and with the long development of time, it is now full of complex life. Of course, at present, the mechanism of some links in the whole process is not particularly clear.

    But we need to know a problem, according to such a process of the origin of life, there is an important point that there must be simple organic matter, and more importantly, it must be supported by a special environment.

    But there are currently few such planets in the solar system, and their environment is similar to that of the early Earth. Because if an astronaut is left in space by accident during a mission, then it will only be within the range of the Earth-Moon system, at most to Mars. Needless to say, the moon has no atmosphere, no liquid water, high temperature and low temperature bombardment, coupled with cosmic radiation, is not suitable for the birth of life, because there are almost no microorganisms, so the body will be kept and buried for a long time on the moon or Mars.

    The so-called "sowing the seeds of life" in the universe is a very complex and difficult process, because if the conditions for the birth of life are met on a planet, it is very likely that it will produce life on its own, but if the environment is not suitable at all, you are just putting in more "seeds", and what is the origin without "soil"?

    The black hole of literature and science, the **** network invasion and deletion.

    A: If an astronaut dies in outer space, he or she will not become a source of life on other celestial bodies.

    Because the characteristic of living organisms is that they are able to survive. If an astronaut is left in space on a mission, it will only be within the range of the Earth-Moon system, and at most it will reach Mars. The Moon is not suitable for life, because there are almost no microorganisms, so the corpses will be preserved and buried for a long time on the Moon or Mars.

    It could be the source of life for Europa, as the planet has liquid water. In this way, there is the basis for the survival of life, so there may be life on this planet, and human beings can also become a life on it.

    If an astronaut dies in outer space, he will be injured by an unknown substance in the air, burned out in an instant, or shattered by a collision, and their life will not have enough time and opportunity to become a source of life on other celestial bodies.

    It is impossible to be a creature on a celestial body because he is already dead. Then he will not be resurrected, and the outside environment is also very bad, then he will only disappear in the universe, then it will become light and heat energy.

    It is actually impossible to become the source of life on the celestial body, the most important thing is that he is still a life, but he will wander back and forth in space, back and forth.

    Which astronauts died? Be complete.

    According to published information, 22 astronauts have so far given their lives for the space industry. Among them were 16 Americans, 5 Russians (Soviet), 1 Israeli. The most serious of these were the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia on 28 January 1986 and 1 February 2003, in which 14 astronauts were killed.

    Details: According to official statistics, a total of 22 astronauts have died in manned space accidents so far, including 17 in the United States, three of whom died in the ground tests of the Apollo 1 spacecraft, and five in the Soviet Union. In addition, 18 astronauts died as a result of aircraft accidents, including 11 from the United States and 7 from the Soviet Union.

    Most of them died in fighter flight accidents, Yuri? Gagarin was killed in an accident during a training airplane flight. Global Deadly Space Accident Time Fatalities Event March 23, 1961 1 Bondarenko, the first cosmonaut identified as the first space flight of the Soviet Union, was in a cabin filled with pure oxygen for intense training, and during a break, he wiped the part of his body that had fixed the sensor with an alcohol cotton ball, and then threw it onto an electrode plate, resulting in a fire in the cabin, he was severely burned, and died 10 hours later, becoming the first astronaut to die in a human manned space flight.

    January 27, 1967 3 The U.S. Apollo 1 spacecraft failed during a simulated launch at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, killing astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White, and Roger B. Shafi April 24, 1967 1 The decompression parachute failed to open when the Soyuz spacecraft piloted by Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov returned to the bridge and was sold back to the ground, and the spacecraft crashed and the astronauts died On June 29, 1971, Soviet cosmonauts Georgy Komarov, Vladimir Volkov and Viktor Pashaev, who had completed a 24-day orbital test in space, returned to the ground and died due to a decompression operation error with 30 minutes left before the scheduled landing time On January 28, 1986, 73 seconds after the launch of the U.S. space shuttle Challenger**, all seven astronauts were killed, including Christa Macaulaymin, a female secondary school teacher On February 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia lost contact with the ground control center 16 minutes before the scheduled landing time, and then disintegrated over central Texas, leaving seven astronauts alive The crash of the space shuttle Columbia in 2003 shocked the world. This is a major loss to the world's space industry, and this disaster has made "whether to continue manned space flights" a topic of debate again.

    Although no astronaut has died in space in human history so far, this day will definitely come as human exploration of space becomes deeper and deeper.

    Sooner or later, our astronauts will die in space, and the body cannot be brought back to the earth, so they can only be left to drift in space, perhaps because the spacecraft suddenly hit an asteroid on the way to fly, or the astronaut unfortunately broke away from the spacecraft when he went out of the warehouse to perform the mission, in short, once the astronaut died in space, it was even more difficult to pick him up, so the astronaut could only die alone in space.

    Human corpses are either buried in the soil or burned into ashes, in short, the remains will always have a home, but the remains of astronauts cannot return to the earth, they can only wander in space, and may drift in space for decades, centuries, thousands or even hundreds of millions of years. Until one day the body is captured by a certain planet, and then begins to fall towards it, until it is close to it, such as the Trembling Fruit is a star, then the astronaut will be burned to ashes before it has to go to its surface, not to mention that life cannot be born on the star.

    But if it falls on a planet, is it possible that the starved remains of astronauts will become the seeds of life on that planet? If it were really possible, the remains of astronauts would bring life to the planet in two ways, one is that the microbes on the astronauts are still alive, and the other is that the organic molecules on the bodies can provide the raw materials necessary for life, which in turn will trigger a chance for the birth of life. So, the premise here is that the microbes in the astronauts can survive.

    If the body of an astronaut floats directly in space, then the microorganisms in its body are unlikely to survive for too long, and microorganisms alone are not enough, there must be a suitable environment for microorganisms to survive on this planet, otherwise, even if microorganisms are brought to them, microorganisms will not live long. The second scenario is that if all the microorganisms in the astronaut's body are dead before landing on the planet, and the organic matter in the body is still there, then is it possible to give birth to life?

    If an astronaut dies in outer space, it does not cause the origin of life on other planets, because the astronaut's cells have died and are no longer viable.

    No. Because the body of an astronaut will slowly decompose in space until it dissipates.

    The profession of astronauts represents more than just a profession in the sky, they are carrying a great mission. When these astronauts go into space to carry out tasks, they not only have to carry out continuous scientific practice and research in space, but also face threats to their lives. There have been a number of astronauts who have died in accidents while on duty and in the course of a stop, but even so, many more have joined the profession one after another.

    The universe is full of unknowns, not only all kinds of radiation, but also the possibility of mutating viruses and bacteria carried by humans when they go to the sky, and if astronauts are killed in space, it is likely that these super viruses will be brought back to Earth and cause a disaster. In fact, the death of astronauts is also divided into circumstances, if it is like the three astronauts of the American Apollo 1 who were accidentally burned to death during liftoff, then they do not have these risks, so they may be buried on the earth, and there is also a death on the return, just like the three astronauts of the former Soviet Union who returned because the ventilation valve was shaken open and all three of them were crushed to death.

    Only astronauts who really die in space will be given up and rescued, because this is a matter of human safety, and they can only make up their minds to give up on them. But in fact, this is all a plan, and there are no astronauts who have died in the course of their missions. So far, 21 astronauts have been killed in the line of duty, and all of them died tragically, but in such a bad situation, more astronauts have stood up and left their lives behind for the sake of the aerospace industry.

    Since we have had an in-depth development of the universe, many countries will send astronauts to the space to complete some of the operations that many countries need. But it is precisely because of this that accidents will inevitably occur during operation, and such accidents can lead to injuries to astronauts and deaths of astronauts.

    And at this time, as a country, astronauts have a value that is reflected. After all, they are selected from one out of a hundred, and the value of meeting an astronaut is also very expensive, and they are also national heroes. If such a national hero is disadvantaged, then it is extremely difficult for the people of a country to accept.

    If astronauts die in the middle of the world or digging in space, then their bodies will not be found, and they will also remain in the universe to sell their cores. Indeed, it will always exist in Tuntan space, and will completely dissipate in space.

    <> this question can be addressed in three ways: First, I feel that it is unlikely, but it cannot be ruled out.

    Human beings are carbon-based life, most planets are not viable, and there are few environments suitable for human survival on other planets, which have not been found so far. If an astronaut dies in space, he will float around endlessly. Second:

    If you float up to Venus, it will be vaporized after a while, and the temperature above it is 464 degrees Celsius, and it often rains sulfuric acid, and when you go up, it will evaporate; If you float to Saturn, Saturn is a gaseous sphere, there is no land on it, the pressure is particularly large, the rotation speed is very fast, the wind speed is 1118 per hour, as soon as people go up, under the action of pressure and wind speed, it will be gone in minutes; If you float up to Neptune, it's even more complete, Neptune has the strongest storm in the solar system, with a speed of 2100 per hour, which can also be crushing.

    The corpses of astronauts in the universe can only provide some biological macromolecules for the formation of life. Although there are existing biological macromolecules, various monomers such as amino acids, nucleotides, etc., there are no other planets that use the ability of these substances, in other words, on other planets, these substances can only be regarded as a new substance formed by existing element atoms, although these substances are related to life, there is still a long way to go to form life. The conditions for the formation of life are far more than the formation of amino acids, nucleotides and other substances, which is only a necessary but not sufficient condition.

    Life on Earth has evolved over a long period of time.

    After a person dies in outer space, it is impossible to float to a galaxy tens of thousands of light-years away, and it will not be long before it turns into dust, and the cells and viruses left by the corpse will disappear together, even if these viruses and cells float to a star in the Milky Way, they will not land to create life, because the environment and conditions required for brewing life are too harsh. In addition, we human beings have not yet determined whether there is life in extragalaxies, and now our exploration field is only within tens of thousands of light years, and even the Milky Way has not yet been understood, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no life and civilization beyond millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of light years away. What if our Earth, solar system, or Milky Way galaxy were a speck of dust or a bacterium or virus in a vast alien galaxy?

    Is this possible? Go for yourself.
