“....live 18 months...

BS! That is far beyond their natural life cycle.

> a mosquito managed to live 18 months clinging to the outside of the International Space Station, without any food, being bombarded by radiation and enduring fluctuating temperatures ranging from minus 230 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

That must be one pissed off mosquito.

But does it still sing like Yoko Ono?

It’s the mosquito from outer space. So this proves that a mosquito might have somehow been transported to Earth from some other planet to populate the Earth—with mosquitos.

A Chernobyl mosquito, perhaps?

Freaky. I’d expect this kind of survival from a cockroach or a Twinkie, but a mosquito??

[aft_lizard]

I could believe it if the creature was thawed out from 18 months in the antarctic but the radiation and constant extreme heat/ extreme cold of near space seems to me would preclude it from surviving.

Baldercrap! -230, in a vacuum, with no nourishment for 18 months. Twaddlecock I say!

[TigersEye]

No wonder the Russians (Soviets) lost the Space Race and the Cold War. Just swat it!

What they fail to provide is a picture of the "mosquito" upon its return to Earth
