Hum. Reminds me a lot of that gamma-radiation eating mold they found in the Sarcophagus in Chernobyl.

Yeah. I saw this earlier this year. It's pretty amazing.

On another note, they also discovered simple sugars in space. They already found amino-acids (building blocks for protein), and lipids (fat). So with simple sugars now we also have carbohydrates. In other words, all the macronutrients are produced naturally in space.

So many cool things.

I am working on putting a satellite into space and looking at some biological experiments without vertebrae, perhaps the electron eating bacteria.
