"The claim that a microbe survived 2.5 years on the moon was flimsy, at best, even by the standards of the time," said John Rummel, chairman of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Panel on Planetary Protection. "The claim never passed peer review, yet has persisted in the press -- and on the Internet -- ever since." [Coolest New Moon Discoveries]
The Surveyor 3 camera-team thought they had detected a microbe that had lived on the moon for all those years, "but they only detected their own contamination," Rummel told SPACE.com.
"eating" and "breathing" are functions of more complex life forms than what we are talking about here.
Bacteria most certainly do eat, even though there's no mastication or alimentary canal, and the definitely do breathe, even though it's called respiration.
There are organisms that can survive, and even thrive, practically anywhere in space, even on the moon.
The gig's up. Now I know you're trying to troll me.
How long can bacteria survive in a hostile environment (for the definition of "hostile" specific to that bacteria) without food (for the definition of "food" specific to that bacteria)?
Even if they go into hibernation/stasis because of the harsh environment on the trip, what would prompt them to revivify when they reach the equally harsh environment of Mars?
Thus: are there bacteria that can eat perchlorates and breathe CO2? If not, then there's little worry that we'll accidentally contaminate Mars.
Not only that, but the inverse square law means that if we get so few photons arriving from something as massive as a star, we won't be getting much from something as puny as a planet...
I do, because one crazy Third World tin pot won't cause Global Thermonuclear War. He'll "just" (note the important quotes around that word) cause Local Thermonuclear War.
At my company, you'd get fired for writing something similar about women. (I took the annual Code of Ethics course last night, and it mentioned something similar.)

But how does this help when:
1) Oppressive Regimes don't install this routers, and
2) hosting & DNS servers and CDNs cancel your service?
But we want to nuke North Korea!! (Too bad it's so close to places we care about...)

See, that wasn't so hard!
LOL.

That doesn't answer the question, "are there bacteria that can eat perchlorates and breathe CO2?"

"I'm sad, I'm angry, on the inside. But I soldier on anyway."
this has been obvious for decades. Centuries, even. Keep a stiff upper lip and soldier on instead of emoting.
Thanks, 1970s, for fucking something else up!
They die, because there's nothing for them to eat.
You're vegetarians. Who cares what you do?
And bark. And balance balls on their noses, and play horns.
That purposeful denial of reality confirms my opinion.
you're an idiot conspiracy theorist who knows nothing about economics.
Not only that, but the inverse square law means that if we get so few photons arriving from something as massive as a star, we won't be getting much from something as puny as a planet...
by placing them with a group you hate
Where in the almighty fuck do you get the notion that I hate religion?
I do, because one crazy Third World tin pot won't cause Global Thermonuclear War. He'll "just" (note the important quotes around that word) cause Local Thermonuclear War.
And I don't mean "I'll have another beer".
50 years ago, these people would have gone to church every Sunday, and had their children vaccinated in a Church-sponsored public health drive.
I shudder to think of the cost of a PB of flash RAM...
what kind of bus ride did your son have that this 20% increase is a non-starter for you?
My son's bus ride was upwards of 90 MINUTES. One way.
And what would you have had him do with those extra 10-25 minutes anyway?
Not waste another 1+ hours of his day.
You succeeded in getting me to Google "Snowpiercer".
I'm guessing you didn't read where my son rode the bus for 3 years.
Clarification: you'd get fired for writing that women are superior to men.
Exactly.
At my company, you'd get fired for writing something similar about women. (I took the annual Code of Ethics course last night, and it mentioned something similar.)
