Bacteria and any form of pathogenic microbe for that matter matures dramatically in the vacuum of a space medium. Due to the absence of environmental factors such as light, temperature, humidity, pH variations, and the amount of expose to radiation or light, bacteria may have very little opposition to their survival and cohabitation. Since there is some what of a confinement in space it can be demonstrated in this instance, bacteria in a space shuttle has more of a probability of surviving if does not have and human interference within the shuttle; the only limiting factors are the harmless bacteria that may consume the harmful bacteria, but if the harmful bacteria is more dominant than the bacteria will develop into a foreign strain known to Earth.

Why to not explore space?

Why is more space dust attracted to the sun than to earth?

More space dust is attracted to the Sun than to Earth because the Sun's gravity is much stronger due to its larger mass. The Sun's gravitational pull can reach and capture particles from farther away in space. Earth's gravity is not as strong as the Sun's, which is why less space dust is drawn towards our planet.


What happens to your bodies if you die in space?

If you were to die in space, your body would remain preserved due to the lack of oxygen and bacteria to cause decay. In the vacuum of space, the fluids in your body would vaporize, causing your body to desiccate. Over time, radiation and temperature extremes would eventually break down your remains.


Is their life in space?

As an astronaut, I can tell you that yes, there is life in outer space, but to an extent. Traces of bacteria and other forms of living organisms has been found on Mars, but outside our Milky Way lies great mystery in whether there are any living organsims.
