sort of...

But what caught my eye was another payload on this heady mission - detailed in a couple of recent articles ? that Russia is also dispatching on the flight the "world's hardiest" or "toughest" organisms found here on Earth, sealed up in a bio-container for the Earth-to-Mars/Mars to Earth three year trek. The bio-module will provide 30 small tubes for individual microbe samples.

sure it's phobos we're talking about...but hey...this experiment is pointless. so what if they make it, we could simulate martian conditions here on earth relatively easily. i see no point in sending our organisms to see if they can survive...ffs, we're looking for alien ones.

it seems to me that Russia likes to play the penis size game. they are doing this just to spite the Americans.
Russian engineers are good, but their leaders are corrupt mobsters...so i have more faith in NASA when it comes to security regulations.



in other news

scientists make self replicating chemicals.

yes russians...life out there is possible, why the **** send our own stuff there, we trashed our solar system quite enough.
 
Idiots. They fail in everything else and then try to redeem themselves by doing idiot space missions.
 
Everyone else is trying hard not to include any life when they send stuff out to space... but not russia!
 
I thought they were sending a copy of Hunky Dory to Mars...
 
Deinococcus (LOL COCK) Radiodurans would do well. Some suspect it's had some space travel before in fact.
 
Won't that not mess up looking for life on Mars? Hey look here we've finally found something, nope that's just a Russain bug.
 
I wish Russia would just go away, like disappear, get teleported to a different galaxy, they can take Israel and the Palestinians with them, god they are annoying.
 
Worms and germs is all fine.

But if they send up another poor dog to die I will personally go over there and hurt someone.
 
Yeees...they really sent dogs there to die, as not giving them a chance to return.

Those noble canine patriots gave their lives to further the greatness and destiny of the human race to reach the stars and use the heavens to our benefit. :imu:




Really though, that kind of attitude isn't very helpful, what is one-dog to furthering humanity's reach into space?. Its not as if animals are just lol-killed for the funsies.



Save the rage for abusive owners and blood sport killers who kill animals for no gain whatsoever.

In fact they should send more cute animals into space, Pixar need to get their idea's from somewhere.
 
This actually seems like quite an interesting experiment. Long time to wait for results though.
 
How long will it be before they try and stick a missile launcher on mars?
