A group of researchers from Louisiana plans to send a corpse into space to bring new life to another world, Austronomy.com reported.

The researchers believe that a corpse could spend million of years adrift and could once land on a planet to bring there new life. 

“If the question is, 'Are there a set of possible circumstances by which a corpse could deliver microbes to a planet that could survive the space environment?' well, then I would say the answer is yes,” says Gary King, a microbial biologist at Louisiana State University who studies microbes that survive in extreme environments. 

At the same time, scientists noted that the longer the body will be in the open space, the less is likelihood that at least one microorganism will survive.
