Just watched a few of NASA's videos on long duration space flight (Mars trips and extended duration ISS). One thing I have noticed is that, well, Bruce Willis was right! NASA DOES have "people sitting around thinking shit up"! Awesome stuff NASA! You and your partners keep up the amazing work!! ;-)
Microbes are interesting...Though with overuse of antibiotics there are superbugs on earth ...hopefully there is better ways than antibiotics alone in the future.
Increased biofilm growth could also cause more corrosion in large power generating systems. Bio films would grow inside cooling pipes. Not good for a large Solar or Nuclear Power System that needs liquid cooling...
If bacteria such as e. coli are 41% smaller in a microgravity environment, what would happen in a lower gravity environment such as the Moon or Mars; would they grow somewhere in between the size in microgravity and under Earth gravity? What would happen in a higher gravity environment than Earth's, would they grow larger than on Earth?
Woot for continuing space station cooperation till 2024! Please continue cooperating for the sake of humanity!
I wonder what would happen if you let a bird loose in the space station
***** I bet they would get nowhere and freak out
***** There's a video of pigeons being set loose at zero-g in a plane during a "parabolic" flight.

They would die and just travel in space ...

I was hoping for some bug killing session in space, in the video.
Was very disappointed.
It's all okay. There are moths (bugs/flies) on the ISS. Check it out.
The most important bugs in space are the software bugs. If you got some you are in trouble ;-)
