More: EXTREMES OF LIFE GRAPH

The team considered building a graph that would show the range of known life forms, compared to the "comfort zone" of humans. The chart would start with such basics as temperature and acidity, and add conditions such as pressure, humidity, oxygen level, and so on. Many different life forms could be plotted on the graph, and it would show the known range of extremophile life forms. But in the end the team did not have enough time to gather the data for such a graph. The concept is shown here.
