Preserved Topic: The sky is falling! (Page 1 of 1)

Wow! Just watched the Mir lab in re-entry...what a show! Anybody else see that? Any thoughts about it?

Did it hit the bullseye?

I want my free tacos damnit.

No tacos

Nope, and I was really looking forward to those refries

I was thinking a little bit about space and such things, and I wonder if pieces of MIR that felt on the Earth brought some bacteria from space, what will they do in the ocean, etc...

They will create a super race of thunder lizards that will eventually come to shore on Tokyo and destroy the city.

Bacteria from space? Don't think they can live in space. I suppose a virus is possible, but not bacteria.

PanSpermia!

I wouldn't rule it out. http://www.panspermia.org/oseti.htm

knew I was no monkey's uncle.

Read "the andromeda strain" by Iforgothisname.. It's a story about a virus from space that really happened.(according to the book)

iforgothisname is author of "rising sun" and "jurassic park". Forgot his name

bacteria couldn't live in space, nor could a virus (how would it live with nothing to feed on or anything around it.)

heh, viruses aren't "alive" in the true sense, needing a host to reproduce themselves, and have been found to live many many years in the ice caps on this planet. Bacteria wouldn't make it but a virus could.
