I have an assignment due in 2 hours. what are some simple tests that can be hypothetically done to space rock to provide proof of signs of life other than on earth. Some elements essential to life are hydrogen and carbon. What are tests (chemical or physical) that can be done to test for the presence of hydrogen and carbon which will thus provide a link to life through the space rocks.
