Life may have arrived from space. But it evolved here. It's very improbable that all life which is perfectly adapted for earth environment came from space.

#1,3,5 if Tardigrades are from space, stupidity is definitely from earth !

i'm always amazed by the endless possibilities of finding the dumbest thing to say about something interesting; that in itself should be the topic of a study.
Lets send you guys out in space and see how you do....

Amazing creatures (but space is not a perfect vacuum, the speed of light is not the fastest possible and space travel is only limited by our current knowledge, re-Einstein's theories)
