starship-design: re: interstellar planets supporting life

["Curtis L. Manges" <clmanges@worldnet.att.net>]

I can't help wondering: what kind of life would develop or evolve in
near-total darkness? I guess we can find examples in our own ocean
depths, but what would it look like on land? Photosynthesis being out of
the question, the flora would certainly take a much different turn from
what we're familiar with, and by necessity, the fauna would also.
Interesting . . .
