SO ENDS this first of two weekends on a spectacular Russian paper on finding intact organisms outside the ISS space station, and their five year investigation of the topic, with careful controls. This builds on many reports of experimental organism survival in outer space, including lichens and tardigrades. Humanity has been willfully blind about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and has spent a pitiful amount of money and effort investigating this topic, possibly out of fear of causing public unrest.

CORRECT CONTAMINATION CONTROLS. “The composition of DNA of detected biomaterial excludes single accidental contamination of terrestrial origin. Furthermore, sampling and processing procedures that were used reduced the likelihood of contamination to a minimum. The absence of contamination is supported by clean negative controls, which are very important when using molecular techniques.” https://lnkd.in/dNHWs6R View in LinkedIn

SECOND HYPOTHESIS. “In this paper samples of space dust from the exterior surface of the ISS were subjected to PCR analysis followed by sequencing of the PCR products. The results obtained indicate the possibility of a mass transfer of the sea bacterial plankton (or its fragments) to the ISS orbit. Alternatively, the transfer of biological material from space to ISS and thence to the ground may be supposed.” https://lnkd.in/dNHWs6R View in LinkedIn

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES. “Each set of parameter values for a node was then input into the neural-network model to produce a depiction of the possible ancestor. Some shell patterns appear to occupy larger regions of parameter space, and are thus more robust to perturbation. However, similarities can still be discerned even in shells that appear quite different at first glance.” https://lnkd.in/dwfZQzE View in LinkedIn
