they got the idea from astroid pieces that had these carbon cell looking structures at a microscopic level on the surface. so they tried to make life but only made this stuff that makes more of itself and has no dna. there are a few implementations but none of it was usable for anything directly. there was also a fake 1 that was used to defame all of it but there were a couple real ones that were pier reviewed. the american government did the fake one and 1 real one
