Description
The DNA found in meteorite ALH84001 was just the beginning. Soon, dormant spores of martian archaebacteria were found, their genome decrypted and translated in earth-equivalent DNA code which was then microinjected in volonteer fertilized egg donor. The martian DNA integrated into the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, providing resistance to radiations and mutations and a new metabolism more appropriate on Mars. Ka.

any volonteer ?

Come on Kevin, Archaebacteria were supposed to be parasite of eucaryotic cells millions on years ago, just before they became true endosymbiot in the form of mitochondria, and nobody complain having mitochondria/endosymbiotic bacteria inside his cell. We just help ourself and our mitochondria by adding something which has already evolved and has been adapded to Martian conditions before it stalled when the environment became too tough. My idea is to create a synergy by combining 1 billion years of Martian evolution to 3.8 billions of Earth evolution. Also, that makes us more Martian. I copyright my idea by the way, today sept. 27 2002, Earth time, on the Renderosity web site, I claim to own the intellectual property of Human/Martian DNA recombination (MARS genetic code in its translated equivalent Terran DNA code) for the next 100 Martian years. Now, If Craig Venter wants to recombinate a single base pair of Martian DNA, he has to ask me before. $$$$$$$. With the money, I'm gonna buy a new guitar for bobby and a new PC for you kevin ! Ka.

I might well be old and very grey before anybody gets around to trying Genetic engineering using Marian DNA! Nice thought though. Incidently, we already have Martian DNA on Earth, carried on Meteorite fragments!.

Well, well, well, I guess I'm not the only person who is into sci-fi...Anyhow keep it up!

How do bacteria thrive upon the exterior of space vehicles yet stall during too rough Martian conditions? I remember this background is a photo.

burrissce, you need to keep in mind that bacteria have been known harden their cellwalls when exposed to high levels of radiation that kill a person instantly. Plus they can regenerate alot more easily than we can due to the way their DNA is structured. Bacteria have been known to survive in extreme conditions that are considered hostile to human life.
