Why does this sound ominous
It’s just missing the second sentence to really make it clickbait: “They weren’t prepared for what they found.”
Asteroids hate this one weird trick.
There was an x-files espisode where alien worms were in.a meteor that took people over and made them violent. They were only stopped by adding a second worm that resulted in them killing each other
There was an episode of Scorpion that dealt with this issue, but it was more about preventing the capsule from being opened.
Because it was meant to. It’s clickbait.
Most epic unboxing video ever made
Where did you see a video? I just saw an article and two pictures?
I didn’t see a video either, ‘unboxing article’ just didn’t sound as funny. Sorry for misleading :)
and then they got rickrolled
Andromeda strain… just a film come to my mind while reading this
Gonna turn your blood to sand!
Open the damn thing! I want to seeeeee!
I want to taste it.
Plot twist it was all ice and it’s melted now
Not yet interesting unless they immediately know what is in there or they start saying “we are not who we are”.
It would be a trip if some low-cell organism that humans have No known exposure to and it went viral or bacterial😳
Eh it’d soon come into contact with our trillions of different bacteria and viruses living across countless species and promptly die.
We have the home-town advantage here.
It would be like saying “Duuuude, what if they sent Chuck Norris to fight Russia?”
Answer: He’d get shot immediately and die.
He’d probably still manage to karate kick a few terrified Russian teens holding ww2 rifles before one of the properly provisioned ones get a lucky shot in. Lucky because he wasn’t trained well before getting shipped to the front.
Hope so.
That’s one of the reasons they have it in a totally sealed atmosphere. The other more important reason is to make sure anything we find in the sample is actually from the astroid rather than from earth.
I’d bet on my immeasurable lactobacillus hoards over a starving, freezing colony of space bacteria any day
