NASA launching huge bacteria filled balloons during solar eclipse on Monday

Where do you get this from? I've looked at the CDC website descriptions of biosafety levels and didn't see anything about exacerbating pre-existing conditions. In fact, considering there are only 4 biosafety levels and level 1 almost certainly encompasses a very large variety of organisms, so saying they all exacerbate pre-existing conditions seems unlikely.

As far as NASA "putting the studies out there showing it is harmless," I have no idea how many studies have been done about this particular bacteria or by whom. Nor do I know just how much was put on the balloons. All I can say is that biosafety level 1 substances are "not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adults and present minimal potential hazard to laboratorians and the environment." CDC LC Quick Learn: Recognize the four Biosafety Levels
I already gave you the link to where the MSDS (material safety date sheet) and information is for this product. I have already found that there are also studies out there but you will have to figure out how to find them as I am not doing your homework for you. BTW, don't try to twist crap and try to allude to shit I didn't say!!!

I've been through your link. I did not see anything on it to indicate that biosafety level 1 materials exacerbate pre-existing conditions, just as I did not see that on the CDC description of biosafety levels.

I don't even know if Bacillus xerothermodurans Bond and Favero is the same as the Paenibacillus xerothermodurans NASA said it was sending in the balloons. From what I can gather, the prefix paeni indicates a substance is almost, but not quite, a type of thing; paenibacillus would be not quite a bacillus.

I find it a bit funny that you say you are not doing my homework for me in the same thread you complain that NASA isn't doing your homework for you. :p

What did I twist to allude to something you did not say?
I don't have homework and I don't attempt to claim to know it all but I sure as hell can complain about a bunch of ignorant lying assholes that make up shit to spend other peoples money to play like God; all the while experimenting with something that they claim they do not know what the outcomes will be. If they want to gamble do it with their own lives and money not someone else's.


I fully agree with this assessment of NASA's scientific studies bullshit. NASA is releasing foulbrood bacteria from balloons during the eclipse: Bees be damned
"The bacteria NASA is sending is the same genus, and has the same thermal resistance characteristics as the bacteria which causes foulbrood. A disease that devastates bee colonies.

NASA has no way of knowing 100% that this bacteria is completely harmless to the biosphere. They are a bunch of psychotic cowboys."

And this Smith asshole at NASA is obviously an arrogant ignorant SOB that is playing around with the world's atmosphere. his words; “I think we’ll have bacterial survivors in these experiments,” Smith said. “I’m consistently surprised by the resilience of life — the ability of life to linger in conditions we consider extreme is humbling.”

There ignorance knows no bounds.

The bacteria is the same genus. That doesn't mean it also causes the issue with bees. Every bacteria in a genus is not the same, and does not have the same effects. For example, domesticated dogs are in the same genus as wolves and jackals.

NASA may not have any way of knowing 100% that the bacteria is harmless to the biosphere, but wouldn't that be true of any substance? What is 100% in life, really?

How is expecting some of the bacteria to survive arrogance? How is that microbiologist "playing around with the world's atmosphere"? Do you have reason to believe that this type of bacterium can have any significant effect on the atmosphere, and that it was sent up in large enough amounts to do so? The bacteria are supposed to be particularly resilient, and the experiment designed to see if they can survive in conditions that at least somewhat mimic conditions on mars; in this particular case, putting the bacteria outside of the ozone layer, which Mars does not have.

What is concerning about this particular bacterium? Would you feel safe if the experiment were with, I don't know, the type of harmless e. coli that we normally have in our intestines?

Oh, and using the wrong form of there/their/they're when talking about someone being ignorant is not really a good idea. ;) Unless you were saying that ignorance knows no bounds in a particular location?
E Coli isn't harmless but I can see you attempting to say it is. .

E. coli: Bacterial culprit in food-borne illness

"Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria normally live in the intestines of healthy people and animals. Most varieties of E. coli are harmless or cause relatively brief diarrhea."

E.coli (Escherichia coli)| E.coli | CDC

"Although most strains of E. coli are harmless..."

I specified the harmless types. So, you were saying?
