It seems then sample analysis should happen in place instead of bringing samples back to study. I think this motivates the need for better ISS equipment, or off-site research labs, like on the moon.
- eru 2y agoThe ISS is crawling with bacteria, too. Anything that humans touch, does. > [...] or off-site research labs, like on the moon. Why stick your lab in a gravity well? And why involve humans (as anything closer than remote operators of robotics)?
- pvaldes 2y agoHum, I didn't though about it. Are you saying that there are life in Mars yet, in each place that the Rover visit?
- asdff 2y agoThere is a reason they send rovers in places they expect to find ancient life and not present day life.
- pantalaimon 2y ago> The ISS is crawling with bacteria I have read that the smell must be quite peculiar, it's not like you can clean that thing.
- schiffern 2y agoBy that standard, any room you've even been in is "crawling with bacteria." The ISS is cleaned constantly, with a deeper cleaning once per week. I think any odors would be more related to using dry toilets, stretching clothing in the absence of laundry facilities, and hosting a gym (2 hours exercise per day per crewmember) with no shower. No Rinse Body Bath only goes so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUUvlnnVMSQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUUvlnnVMSQ
