Russian space officials have confirmed traces of plankton and other micro-organisms were found living on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS), and it appears they've been living there for years.

This was also reported by c|net and ITAR-TASS.

How does this affect your views on finding life of some sort elsewhere in the universe?

    My question exactly! Are we dealing with Sandy Plankton from next door, (_Finding Nemo_), or the evil Plankton, proprietor of the Chumbucket? (_Sponge_Bob). This would seem to be a significant difference, and we have a right to know!
