I thought metorites in space were sterile from the sunlight, and lack of oxygen, etc... Viruses get cooked on shopping carts sitting out in the parking lot in the sunshine. Viruses die off in a capsulated form after x amount of days. Such as those viruses on public toliet seats. Also anything entering the Earth's atmostsphere would burn up on entry into the planet?

It was an interesting read, mind you, though not all of it. It's funny how quickly people start bringing themselves into the equation, and wonder whether or not this will benefit them directly. Me, me, me, me.
It would have made more sense to release more useful information in the coded message. Were they onto him initially, and that is the reason for the little detail at first? I doubt it. If you really wanna get people going, you'll make a point to get it across, instead of playing little penpal games through email.
It's gonna take more than a Russian IP, and a coded message for this to come off as solid.

An extremophile (from Latin extremus meaning "extreme" and Greek philiā (φιλία) meaning "love") is an organism that thrives in physically or geochemically extreme conditions that are detrimental to most life on Earth.[1][2] In contrast, organisms that live in more moderate environments may be termed mesophiles or neutrophiles.
Astrobiology is the field concerned with forming theories, such as panspermia, about the distribution, nature, and future of life in the universe. In it, microbial ecologists, astronomers, planetary scientists, geochemists, philosophers, and explorers cooperate constructively to guide the search for life on other planets. Astrobiologists are particularly interested in studying extremophiles, as many organisms of this type are capable of surviving in environments similar to those known to exist on other planets. For example, Mars may have regions in its deep subsurface permafrost that could harbor endolith communities.[citation needed] The subsurface water ocean of Jupiter's moon Europa may harbor life, especially at hypothesized hydrothermal vents at the ocean floor.
Recent research carried out on extremophiles in Japan involved a variety of bacteria including Escherischia coli and Paracoccus denitrificans being subject to conditions of extreme gravity. The bacteria were cultivated while being rotated in an ultracentrifuge at high speeds corresponding to 403,627 times "g" (the normal accelaration due to gravity). Paracoccus denitrificans was one of the bacteria which displayed not only survival but also robust cellular growth under these conditions of hyperaccelaration which are usually found only in cosmic environments, such as on very massive stars or in the shock waves of supernovas. Analysis showed that the small size of prokaryotic cells is essential for successful growth under hypergravity. The research has implications on the feasibility of panspermia.
AshleyD, one of the moderators came in to the thread and variefied the OP's IP and it is from Russia, the Mod didn't post the IP or any other information regarding it, although it would be interesting to see

Why is a moderator (member) confirming/revealing private location information about another member? Or a better question is, why does a moderator even have access to this information? If this character was on the run, like he said he was, why would the OP telegraph his location? It's beginning to look that the only thing Russian about the original OP is that he likes expensive Beluga caviar and vodka.
