Yeah, so landing on another planet with different life forms is impossible. You have to know everything down there that can harm you. And you need an immune system that can handle it. And you need to have everything you carry categorized and made non threatening. So dont worry about fighting aliens here. The outer space ones anyway.

Maybe we should start over with a new space station? I can’t see breeding super strains of mold being a good idea, nor living for any length of time in a moldy dwelling.

This begs the question of whether there is mold and fungus in outer space, or whether fungus came to the earth from there in the first place.

We have this problem on the boat. We wipe things down with cleaning vinegar occasionally and keep it under control.

The more we use it, the less of a problem it seems to be.

Dr. Bernard Quatermass is unavailable for comment on reports of unexplained space molds.

It has happened before. See this preview of a documentary of “The Green Slime”....

True story kept from us. Really.
