Uncover remains of living plankton outside the station … – The Courier

The occupants of the International Space Station (ISS) have come up with new evidence confirms the theory that life can exist without oxygen, under the scrutiny of cosmic radiation and the vacuum dominates beyond the atmosphere Earth. And Russian officials have reported that the crew of the ISS located during a routine hike in August, plankton and other organisms alive in the outer shell of the facility.

These experts argue that these tiny life forms could be there before launch. That is, they could have flown transported by air currents.

“The results of the experiment are quite unique,” said the head of the Russian orbital mission, Vladimir Soloviev. The expert indicated that is still being worked on to know the origin of these microscopic particles and how they came to the surface of the device.

In the oceans

As the type of plankton found, has indicated that it is equal to that can be found on the surface of the oceans during the development stage. In this sense, Roscosmos said that “not typical” of Baikonur, where releases are made.

Meanwhile, NASA thinks the idea of ​​the updrafts of the Earth as the cause the presence of plankton in space is completely “ridiculous.” In addition, Americans say they have not been officially informed of this event by Russia. “As far as we are concerned, we have not seen or heard the official reports of our colleagues Roscosmos about plankton found”, explained to Space.com NASA spokesman Dan Huot.
