There is already a game where you build with lego-like-but-not-lego blocks. It's called Blockland and it's cool. Although it isn't massive, it is multiplayer...
The article seems to imply that life could potentially survive in these meteorites and maybe even travel through space — supporting the theory that life arrived on earth and evolved from that point on.""We mean that the material in the meteorite has been processed the least since it was formed. The material we see today is arguably the most representative of the material that first went into making up the solar system." The meteorite likely formed in the outer reaches of the asteroid belt, but the organic material it contains probably had a far more distant origin. The globules could have originated in the Kuiper Belt group of icy planetary remnants orbiting beyond Neptune. Or they could have been created even farther afield. The globules appear to be similar to the kinds of icy grains found in molecular clouds — the vast, low-density regions where stars collapse and form and new solar systems are born.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
