I want to know about the bacteria that they found growing on the OUTSIDE of the space station!

Doesn’t surprise me, go do “wiki extremophiles”.
You will read about bacteria that leave in deep ocean volcanic vents were the water is boiling and full of dissolved metals. Also there are bacterial colonies that live in the fissures & micro-cracks of subsurface rocks, not at all favorable conditions for organic life.

Recommended book the late Dr Thomas Gold’s “ Deep Hot Biosphere” (Was at Cornell!), physicist - he worked with Bondi, & Hoyle.
