Looks like neither you, nor Newsweek, are capable of reading a clear 
description of what the job is actually about.

The responsibility is to protect the planets and moons of the Solar 
System from microbiological contamination by NASA's space probes.

Europa is of special concern because it is almost certainly a liquid 
water ocean covered by ice, and might conceivably be some kind of life 
there.

impossable to do that if it lands on it.  all things manufactured 
already have microbio contamination on them, as soon as exposed to air.

the only way is lots of hard radiation

Not true. There are stories circulating saying that they never landen on 
Mars neither. But the pictures they publish are from somewhere here on 
Earth, probably Antarctica. What do you have to say in your defence?

very true. even IC chips have bacterial contamination

"stories" ?  "circulating" ?  [smells like FAKE NEWS]

"somewhere" ?

"they" ?   "probably" ?


what about Venus ?   **contaminated!!**

and Jupeter ?  **contaminated!!**

MARS      **contaminated!!**

Moon     **contaminated!!**

I don't believe you. Show me one. You neither know the difference between 
a function and an equation, similar to a few others around here. (hint, 
propagation delays are NOT bacterial)

remember HEPA only gets 99.97% of particals, so if you have 10,000,000 
particals per cubic inch, after a HEPA filter you now have 3,000 
floating around in your IC chip clean room.

That must be at best dust and impurities, not life. In which case you have 
to redefine life to match your stupidity. As a minimum, life has to be a 
Functional Cell.

life is smaller than you think it is, google "bacteria"

how small is the smallest life ?  (in microns)

Can't you read, friend. A functional cell is life, it must be. A virus 
however is NOT. Pay attention, you are attempting mixing shit together.

you fail extra credit, you get an F

Porcine circovirus is 17nm!



More extra credit:

so if your spacecraft has surface area of 600 m^2 how many Porcine 
circovirus can you put on it ??

hint 600/(0.0000000017) = ?


Super Extra Credit Problem;

if you are 99.999999% effective in removing Porcine circovirus from 
spacecraft in 'more extra credit' above, how may are left on spacecraft 
to infect planet ?

That's why viruses are not life, cretin. They need a porcine. A porcine IS 
life, obviously. Reread what is been said, stupid. A FUNCTIONAL cell IS 
life.

"to infect planet"???? Maybe you don't understand...*The Purpose of Life*!


The Purpose of Life *is to* "infect planets"!


Nature wishes that all planets get infected with Life.


So, it gives earth a cold..

and the cold wishes to find a host..

another...planet.

It propels the cold
like sneezing
and the other
planets
catches the cold.

Yous are the cold.


Nature does not want or need a
Planetary Protection Officer.


It goes against all common sense.

Extra credit if you realize what is wrong with this equation in this 
context.

F’up2 sci.physics, where it is only the least off-topic.

Well, for example, Galileo was deliberately crashed into Jupiter to 
avoid any possibility of its contaminating Europa after it can no longer 
control its orbit.

Ensuring that any future landing on Europa won't risk contamination will 
likely be one of the responsibilities of the appointee.

Primary goal it was always designed to go into jupeter to get atmosphere 
data all along.  (wiki is wrong here, contammination not considered in 
oragional mission.)

the contammination thing is a new spin they put on it.

but they did contamminated Jupeter with earth germs.

my point is that when they do the analysis, they will not be able to 
100% guarentee there are no life thingies on the sattilite.
  99.99% perhaps.

on the surface of earth everything is coated with thin biofilms already.

… and all the extraterrestrial life there :->

BTW, you really want to use a spell checker and a newsreader that warns you 
when you are crossposting without Followup-To.

And a real name.

And an e-mail address.

And a non-troll news server.

In short: a brain.
