From astrophysics to micropaleontology, Dr. Richard B. Hoover traveled the planet collecting samples and exploring life in the Universe throughout his career. The former NASA astrophysicist and astrobiologist has written and lectured globally about microfossils in meteorites, biomolecules in interstellar dust, comets, exoplanets and microbial life he has found inhabiting volcanoes, permafrost, ice caves and glaciers in Earth’s most hostile environments.
