Extremophile researchers have one thing in common: they are constantly being told that what they are seeking is impossible. This gives them a quixotic determination to seek anyway. What drives them, I think, is the realisation that, thanks to extremophiles, microbiology can once again be a science of discovery. In an age when people had begun to think there was nothing left to discover on Earth, they have become explorers in a new and exotic landscape.
