MDerate - Software like water ...

I did this design for a client years ago as it indirectly relates to water, the unique compound essential to all life, as far as we know, even applies to Tardigrades, the only known species able to live without water for years but also can deal with the vagaries of space without the need of a space suit. :)

On 11 April 2019, a spacecraft crashed on to the Moon. The Israeli Beresheet probe was supposed to land gently in the Mare Serenitatis, a huge plain of basalt rock formed in a volcanic eruption billions of years ago. It would have been the first privately funded mission to land on the Moon. But owing to a last-minute instrument failure Beresheet did not slow down enough and slammed into the surface at 500 kilometres per hour.

From the Moon’s point of view, this was a failed alien invasion. Beresheet was carrying animals called tardigrades, which look like stunted, microscopic caterpillars. They may not seem like an obvious candidate for interplanetary travel, but tardigrades are famed among biologists for their ability to survive conditions that would kill almost any other animal. It is possible that some of them survived the crash.

Don’t worry, we haven’t seeded the Moon with new life. The tardigrades were sent out in an inactive state, and that is how they will stay: they cannot become active again without water, something the Moon is notoriously short of. Eventually the extremes of temperature and searing solar radiation will kill them all – but it may take a surprisingly long time.

As for water ...

  Polarity of the water molecule due to the uneven distribution of electrons in its covalent bond. 
(From OpenStax Concepts of Biology text)

• Hyfrogen's unique bonding angle to oxygen
• Polarity
• High heat of vaporization
• High heat capacity
• Less density as a solid
• High adhesion
• High density
• High surface tension
• Universal lubricant
• Universal solvent
• High vscosity
• High attraction to other polar molecules
• Low boiling point
• High cohesion level
• Exists in nature as a solid, liquid, and gas
• Easy access to it's three states of matter
• High heat capacity
• Exists as a liquid at room temperature 
• Dissolves easily 
• Cannot be compressed 

Lastly, if MDerate actually creates software like water, it would be a good thing would it not?

 Until next time ...
