One wonders where else in the solar system moss from Earth may have taken hold. Spores and such could be making the journey randomly from gravity well to gravity well.

I always wonder what would happen if you put a fully enclosed glass terrarium in space. How would it fair. Not big either. Grape fruit sized.

But how does it taste? Safe to assume in 1000 years we'll have moss farms thriving in orbit.

So... Now we have a way to commit an act of biological terrorism on the whole Milky Way? Just get a hundred of tons of moss spores to space and accelerate them in all direction to spread them all over Milky Way. It is somehow a very satisfying thought. Maybe I'm a born terrorist deep down, and just didn't get the chance to become one?

Any idea that Earth-bound life need to migrate to outside of Earth, is a stupid sales talk, good for selling fiction stories. Any research work in this direction is purely to protect the jobs, work and funding.
