“While the ISS is often seen as a sterile environment, our research shows that microbes and non-human life have agency in space, raising significant bioethical questions about removing plants and microbes from their home planet and introducing them to extraterrestrial environments,” Maggie Coblentz, an industrial design scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains in a statement.

While fetuses do not.

Bring those microbes home.

[Deaf Smith]

Is that the stuff made from fish heads?

The research highlights how microbes adapt in space and raises ethical questions about relocating Earth-based life

[blackdog]

Miso wanna try sum, long time.

[Larry Lucido]

[ZOOKER]

The bad part about space miso:

A 1/2 hr. later you want to re-enter.

[Bikkuri]

Soybean oil.

[Frank Drebin]
