Life from Earth could temporarily survive on Mars
Study shows sending microbes to Earth's stratosphere, to test their endurance to Martian conditions, can reveal their potential use and threats to space travel
Some microbes on Earth could temporarily survive on the surface of Mars, finds a new study by NASA and German Aerospace Center scientists. The researchers tested the endurance of microorganisms to Martian conditions by launching them into the Earth's stratosphere, as it closely represents key conditions on the Red Planet.
