Default Soviets find alien life

http://www.newsweek.com/russian-astr...e-earth-724445



A cosmonaut raised the possibility that astronauts conducting space walks outside the International Space Station had gathered bacteria off its surface that may not have come from Earth, according to an interview published Monday by the Russian state news agency TASS.



"And now it turns out that somehow these swabs reveal bacteria that were absent during the launch of the ISS module. That is, they have come from outer space and settled along the external surface. They are being studied so far and it seems that they pose no danger," Anton Shkaplerov said, according to an English-language article the agency published after the interview originally ran.


If anybody has seen the movie Life that came out last year with Ryan Reynolds, this yells bad idea.

I for one find it completely credible that the soviets have such excellent quality control that they never let a single bacterium slip through their cleaning process. I find it much more likely that an alien source has put bacteria on their space station.
