Moss survived outside of the International Space Station for 9 months

When interviewed, Moss stated: "The ambient emvironment is indeed challenging. But when I think about the toxic political discourse, collapsing rules-based global order and of course, the inevitable temperature increase past 1.5 or even 2 degC above pre-industrial state, I really don't regret my move"

Moss spores survived outside. The difference is significant, it's like saying "Banana trees survived in space" when it was just banana seeds...

I have survived outside of the International Space Station my whole life

Vermin survive in sewers, Arabs survive in the widest of shitholes of their own making, so what?

If Moss survived outside of the International Space Station for 9 months, then perhaps Moss would be a good candidate to take to the surface of Mars on a future Mars mission...

What can’t Randy do?!

Someone stick a bag of moss spores on the next Voyager please.

I know they're doing everything to keep those craft sterile, I think we should go the other way: spread life across the universe while we can.
