   Just imagine that on a distant planet where NASA has eventually discovered LIFE, it has also isolated a species which is destroying the whole planetary ecosystem. Of course sending probes and technological devices would be important for studying the very situation there. But at one moment NASA would have to engage directly this destructive agent as to discover what makes it devastate the network upon which its very survival depends and eventually neutralize its toxicity.

According to what we said above, NASA should normally work at finding out why this marvelous creature is the only one among all the living species to endanger LIFE on Earth at a planetary scale. Indeed, we generate Global Warming and Climate Change with our CO2 emissions transforming right before our eyes this tamed and harmonious planet into a wil
