oh yes, viruses and bacterium that are hundreds, 1000s and millions of years old are waking up, will that include zombie creating ones? Oo

The Nasa Surveyor-3 space craft that was landed on the Moon April 1967 had a camera on-board. The camera was recovered by the

Apollo-12 crew November 1969 and brought back to earth.

 

It is believed the camera had not been properly decontaminated before launch because on examination back on earth it had the

a virus related to the common cold. However, some scientists suspect the camera may have been infected when it was brought back to earth.

Only problem with that is we haven't been to the moon.

 

It was a Stanley Kubrick production shot in a Hollywood Studio.

 

The moon is a light just like the sun and stars are lights. It is not a physical object so you can't stand on it.

 

NASA CGI images of the earth are just that,CGI images,as they are of Pluto and every other planet.

Too late. How else do you explain Brexit?

Zombies could be right,never have I heard about so many people with mental illness and depression,is this the start?

There's an interesting theory that bacteria and viruses have already evolved to occupy every possible niche. Therefore whilst they respond to selective pressures like antibiotics with small changes, the species around today will be the same as those around 1000s of years ago. We might see the return of smallpox, but otherwise nothing more worrying than pandemic flu, ie novel versions of already current infections.

 

There's a prof at Sheffield who is interested in bacteria from inside amber (like in jurassic park). Apparently remarkably similar to known species.

Does that mean that in evolutionary terms they are near perfect?

Collectively perhaps, but probably not individually.
