That's amazing how quickly they they do that. Amazing. That's really coming back in a matter of seconds, and it's perfectly adapted to these kind of stark habitats.

 Additionally, mounting evidence suggests we'll need to figure out how to eradicate cancer stem cells. These are rare but seem to have special properties that make them resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. In theory, even if the rest of the tumor shrinks beyond detection during treatment,
