In many people's eyes, it is not surprising that astronauts still need to be isolated after they have gone through a long flight process.
Because the vital signs of astronauts take some time to return to normal, they are also affected by the physical environment of space .
In the eyes of scientists, the isolation inspection of astronauts is also to protect the safety of ground personnel. As early as the 1960s, there was a lunar plague panic. This phenomenon continues to this day and promotes the development of related research.
Astronauts need to be quarantined after returning to Earth
For people, the world has been at a standstill in the past 2020. Due to the invasion of the new crown epidemic, we have to stay at home, which is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of the virus.
In the face of astronauts returning from "space travel", isolation is actually a normalized situation, especially when humans do not fully understand the space environment. It was once suspected that astronauts might carry mutated bacteria from space.
In fact, there have been studies that have proved that some tenacious microorganisms can survive on the surface of the moon. Although the original scientists believed that the surface of this natural satellite was likely to hide other life, but now that more than half a century has passed, the human "quarantine operation" has not ended.
Scientists once warned humans that rash exploration of space may pose a threat to ourselves, and microbes from space are one of them. Since mankind currently does not have a complete solution to solve related problems, facing the return of astronauts, they can only use the most primitive isolation method to minimize the negative impact.
Microbes cause the lunar plague panic
The entanglement between humans and viruses has a long history. As our transportation tools continue to change, the world has become a close whole The trend of disease globalization is also more obvious.
In contrast, it is difficult for us to accept the fact that humans will face greater challenges in the future. However, in the eyes of scientists, the scope of infectious disease outbreaks may expand to the entire galaxy .
In other words,The lunar plague panic will also evolve into the solar plague panic. Mankind’s understanding of microbes goes far beyond that, and we are about to implement a plan to migrate to Mars, and everything will become more complicated.
From the beginning when people worried about astronauts carrying the lunar virus, we are now facing new hidden dangers. Isolation has not only played a role from a physical point of view, but also gave people some psychological comfort.
Seeds grow abnormally in the sprinkled lunar soil
The most shocking thing is that during the experiments on the precious lunar soil, scientists discovered that the sprinkled moon was found in the soil. The plant seeds that were placed not only germinated faster, but also grew . The long was extremely dense, which caused widespread controversy at the time.
However, scientists explained that this does not mean that the moon is more conducive to the propagation of viruses, on the contrary, it is that the nutrients in the lunar soil have never been in contact with water, which makes it easier to trigger chemical reactions. As for whether there are deadly microorganisms on the surface of the moon, this is really a big project, and it may take longer for humans to find the answer.
In short, humans have less understanding and control of microorganisms than we thought. This is one of the reasons why we still insist on isolation and protection.
In addition to comprehensive exploration of the moon in the future, scientists,Perhaps more energy should be devoted to the terrestrial planet , otherwise, once the landing plan is implemented, more hidden dangers will arise.
As the so-called road is long and long, mankind has only taken a small step at present. In the face of more complex problems, we must strive to find new solutions to improve Protect your own safety well.
