Interesting. I wonder exactly what kind of plankton. Plankton are pretty diverse and can include things like tiny jellyfish, algae and shrimp like organisms.

It’s always possible that such life forms from Earth drifted to places like Mars, and that if life is found there, it originated on earth.
But that would wreck a lot of sci-fi movies...

Too bad the Russian’s won’t bring us up there to look at it.

“Green Slime” is a great movie. I saw it in a theater back in the 1960’s. Scared the devil out of me.

More likely its contamination from the shuttle or private supply vehicles.
To: <1/1,000,000th%
My guess is that the swabs used to wipe the surface were already contaminated, or the test equipment which never was in a hard vacuum environment was contaminated. There is no control group, so the reported observation has little meaning.

Oh great. Now part of the duty for astronauts will be scraping barnacles off the hull.

Maybe it's not from the ocean, maybe the plankton in the ocean came from space.

>>anybody ever see that movie green slime?
Yes, about 15 times. "The Green Slime," "Executive Suite," and "The Lost Flight" were the only three movies available at the Midway Island Officers' Club for most of 1971 and we spent a lot of 1971 there. Of course, after several drinks we kept finding different interpretations of the plots.

It's probably these guys. They can live in the cold and vacuum of space, and they're already wearing space suits.

Panspermia.
Exactly.
At the time, very few believed microscopic life could survive in space.
Now we may be able to answer that part of the question at least.
