From myth to mathematics, ancient architecture to cutting-edge physics, space has been the woven embroidery of the human mind. However, conniving the existence of life in space has always been restricted mostly to loathsome alien creatures, as superficially portrayed by many sci-fi flix, until the advent of the era of understanding life more scientifically in space; the field of entity off-late known as astrobiology or exobiology. Parturiting at the flag end of the twentieth century, this field of science is still in its cuddling infancy mucking in the turbidity of strong primitivisms, religious bureaucracy, and the enigma of pseudoscientific belief. Nevertheless, the gradual understanding mingled with the infinite amalgamation of the number of tributaries of academia has somehow managed to upscale the decorum of this very subject. With the forthcoming astral of thoughtful research, astrobiology could serve as a prologue to mankind’s one of the ultimate question: “are we alone in the universe”? From a theoretical understanding of the origin and evolution of LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) aftermath to cliff-top cancer research in the microgravity condition of the International Space Station (ISS), the centralized dogma of astrobiology reveals fascinating truths one after another, glazing the aura of knowledge in biological and medical science. This field of science makes us believe in a new meaning of life, ‘a star child’ within each and every one of us. The Ecological habitability of our ‘pale blue dot’ is being faced-off in the vast arena of deep space. It is the virtue of this subject that makes us believe that evolution is asynchronous, dating back from the Big Bang darting through periodical mass extinctions envisioned in other celestial bodies with strong contenders of harboring plausibility of life, at least a tiny fraction of it. If properly placed and paced, astrobiology could be the next gerund of human understanding of life ‘as it is’ from micro to macro-molecular level heralding Carl Segan’s repertoire hymn: “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” The following scientific oration is a small oblation to this whole conundrum.
