Q: What is life?
Life is defined as a metabolizing, self-reproducing material informational system that requires energy and a suitable environment.

Q: How would you sum up the state of play on this particular area of astronomical research? Where are we on exo moons?
I think we're on the cusp of finding them. I think it's very interesting that we're on the cusp and that they are so difficult, given that we're quite good at finding exoplanets.
