[FPSPACE] Evidence for Panspermia? More evidence for indigenous microfossils in carbonaceous meteorites. by Brig Klyce

[Keith Gottschalk]

The evidence reads persuasively to someone from outside the discipline of astro-biology.
It would be good to read a comment from a scholar in the field.
 
    Some of the wider implications include:
 
1. if even viruses & bacteria - never mind cyanobacteria - may exist on comets, Mars, etc, this will necessitate rigorous, thorough decontamination of spacesuits by astronauts on such celestial bodies, when they return to their spacecraft. Of the same protocols used for researchers in biological warfare.  No one can take the risk of some extraterrestrial version of Congo fever, flesh-eating bacteria etc, to which earthlings have no resistance.
 
2. All articles & books proposing "terraforming Mars" will remain fantasy, if biologists need to discover extra-terrestrial life-forms that might be made extinct by increasing pressure, O2, & temperature, etc.

Hello One and All, 
             Would any one like to comment on this alleged find?

"More Evidence for Indigenous Microfossils in Carbonaceous Meteorites" is the subject of a new webpage containing previously unpublished images provided by NASA Scientist Richard Hoover. The fossils strengthen the case for panspermia. The webpage was posted 15 Aug 2010 on the Cosmic Ancestry website.
 
 
 
 
At the Astrobiology XIII session, 3-5 August 2010, of this year's SPIE conference in San Diego, NASA scientist Richard Hoover showed more images that add weight to the case for fossilized cyanobacteria in meteorites. The fossils are found in carbonaceous meteorites of several types, including CI1 (example: Orgueil) and CM2 (example: Murchison). Here we present some typical and previously unpublished images from those meteorites.
