Spaceborn diseases, Skittish over collecting debris

Isnt space debris usually sterilized before being brought back to earth? If people thought birdflu was bad just think of an alien disease if it struck earth. I am especially concerned over the recent comet particles being brought back to earth seemingly not sterilized or people stealing space material. Whereas usually eveything brought back from the moon was sterilized.

Whoa, interesting.

Somehow, I think it would be well worth the risk of infection by a spaceborn virus, if it meant we even got a chance to study the specimen.

As for moon rocks being stolen. That is just bloody pathetic. I mean, steal them? How do you get money for them, ransom? yeah... But the fact that is was possible...

Anyhow, I want to see spaceborn virii!

A space-borne virus would not need to be brought back.

If space actually had very many viri that could attack humans we would be dead already.

about the subject . Viruses from space , I heard that postulated. It could explain why out brakes can occur at separate location simultaneously . That was the thought anyway . Don't know if they actually do. I suspect they do .

You are different Reality . That I give you
