Uh, this is very interesting....

"This organism appears to have survived an atmospheric passage, with the heat and the force of impact," he said.


Remember the "unprotected" team that gathered samples from the 'comet dust' experiment I posted awhile back??

Seems like 'panspermia' is possible, and that means these 'comet scientists' were careless to say the least.

Interesting indeed.

So what this means is that this type of bacteria (and possibly others) could travel through space on a dead rock and then survive entering our athmosphere.

Well considering that this happens with tons and tons of meteorites every day and has been for billions of years - i think we dont really have to worry about something that came of that comet killing us - obviously it hasn't done any harm to us so far. ;)

So far. Yep.

And, if scientists want to 'capture' comet space dust, and other stuff, all I'm saying in "handle with care". Latex gloves don't cut it....
