Stellar life histories are briefly discussed as well as prerequisites for a
life-supporting planet. It is suggested that most single stars of the main
sequence between F5 and K5 could probably support life of an advanced form
on the planets revolving around them. Temperature and atmosphere of
Mars and Venus are discussed in detail and speculations made as to the
existence of life there.
