I had a thought, but it might be a bit far-fetched, and maybe impossible and pointless. I'm not the smartest.
I remember recently NASA probing an asteroid to collect samples and look for evidence of life-building materials. I don't know what the results where, or even if we've had a chance to analyse the samples yet. But if they do show something, and then we do the same thing to Oumuamua, could we not compare the results to each other, and perhaps create a semi-accurate model of what life could look like if it evolved in the system of origin?
Sorry if I'm way off the mark, I was just curious.
P.S. I was also wondering, if this thing just travelled through interstellar space and arrived here safely, could we perhaps use it's shape as a blueprint for our first interstellar missions?
