Stems from the batman legacy really does it not? Spending too much money on test projects without adequate peer reviewed literature for land based issues for “the why” we need to do a similar test in space.
Such as the 400 million year evolution of the intelligence of yeasts and our associated symbiosis with them for the past 200 thousand years.
“It’s ok we can just test it in space, the romantic final frontier.”
No.
I say this as a person who on my percieved deathbed at 16, had majority of my primary airway closed with a Candida overgrowth within my being. Yes go to the dialogue as to why I had yeast spores in my throat, call me a dick sucker instead of using your brain.
As that is what alot of young white male inept doctors did! Van diemen filth and how that impacted the approach of sydneys infectious disease medicine.
So to focus on what actually happened, as yeasts along with a virus dominated my being due to a lack of bacteria to balance, the interplays of cultures may have in fact eradicated other things. The learnings lost to male fucking ego through that time in my life, my friend.
