It is great that mankind is finally getting to grips with the realization that we humans are not sterile, we are spreading our microbiome signature wherever we go. Not just from our guts, but from our lungs (in the air we breathe out) from our hands (what we touch) and in the dead cells we discard from our bodies each day.

Just like the AAAS editors, I couldn't resist posting this image:

Bugs will win, in the begining:

This challange did not exist before the Metagenome studies?
Doc Marshall will have to be frozen and cloned to advise NASA into the future... I reckon about 2050'ish

Of course, none of these immune changes could be attributed to ionizing radiation outside the atmosphere, or indeed to non-ionizing radiation from the radio transmitter of the spacecraft? Of course not.... It is all stress - even in the mice...

It seems they completely underestimated THIS challenge?
The initial results/flights may be disasterous..
