Researchers are examining these mutations to gain a deeper insight into how bacteria adapt to space. Through this understanding, they can develop strategies to keep astronauts safe on upcoming missions. The goal is to ensure that space travel remains safe and healthy for those courageous enough to venture beyond Earth. And who knows what intriguing insights we may uncover about bacteria in these extreme environments in the future?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Mutating Bacteria on the International Space Station For the past 75 years, humanity has been exploring space, launching countless objects beyond Earth. In 2023 alone, 2,644 objects were sent into space. It\u2019s hard to fathom the amount of bacteria that likely accompanied them. This doesn\u2019t seem to raise much alarm, as most bacteria are generally …\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":87785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[670],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87784"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87786,"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87784\/revisions\/87786"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/echowoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
