Scientists scour the clouds for signs of life

[Still Waters]

The team of researchers set off on Wednesday morning in an airship that will fly at up to 8,000 feet to collect air samples, which they will analyse for bacteria, fungi and other organisms living there.

They will also collect air at 25,000 feet during a high altitude parachute jump in an attempt to find microbes that may survive suspended high in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Now that's pretty cool--I'd be interested to see what they find.
