There may be life on other worlds. There may even be life on worlds close to our own. There are, without question, many unknown life forms right here on Earth, right now. Many of these are wiped out by our own actions long before they have the chance to be discovered. What secrets did they hold? There may be life forms on other worlds, such as the moon. Will we find them, or will we trample over them like we have so many on our own world, removing them from the universe in the process of our own inevitable expansion, before we even knew they were there?
