How did the bacteria survive for months in the freezing cold vacuum of space, doused in radiation, and most importantly, without a discernable source of food! Even Superman has to eat when he's taking a break from tossing his evil clones into the sun. I guess this lends credibility to the theory that there may be a whole ecosystem in the upper atmosphere that we're unaware of. |
I would guess some bacteria can go dormant when deprived of such things. Regarding hard radiation, there are some bacteria that live in the radioactive water of nuclear plants. Alternatively, some part of the camera may have shielded the bacteria. I would guess the camera, with electronic parts, would need some kind of shielding. |
