I've skimmed this, it makes no sense to me. There are some graphics. There are things like this:
> The ISS genomes exhibited an average of 4568 genes, a significantly higher count than the average of 4416 genes found in the Earth genomes.
Yes, 4568 is a significantly higher count than 4416. But if I took samples of this bacteria from different countries, would I see a similarly significantly different count? I've no idea.. is this even significant without this sort of comparison?
I watched the video too. This really is just a bunch of stock footage, with the same info as the linked NASA article.
Do others find this info to be compelling of anything? It seems that this could be a PR piece of some sort, for 'space science'. I don't get the significance.
