And ugh, I adored Illuminae :) So much amazing science in it. Eeek. I love what you have found out; and agree with lots of it :) Thank you for sharing sweetie. <3 Biological warfare is a big no, yet I still think so many people should be killed. Ugh. But not innocent ones :)Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-78412046306553758512015-09-21T01:54:43.534-04:002015-09-21T01:54:43.534-04:00Not far-fetched at all!

Imagining a disease mutating on a ship... so scary. I hope we never have to experience that, even on Earth (versus a spaceship).

It's also not far-fetched. Anthrax has already been used as a weapon in individual cases, and sent through the mail. And an acquaintance of mine works on bioweapon and airborne agent detection - the systems that could potentially detect a release of gases or biological weapons in time to protect people.

How do you get fresh stuff whether its food or personal products or clothes? Get enough sun and fresh air? Water? And have sustainable energy? Yeah, my mind was busy as a kid. <br /><br />Biological warfare gives me the heebie jeebies. I did a paper in high school on the bubonic plague in the middle ages and I just can't imagine something that horrific spreading through confined quarters on spaceships or in real life someone ruthless enough to doom a race and maybe even the world of races by using it.Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-87698860886358806692015-09-20T06:41:51.015-04:002015-09-20T06:41:51.015-04:00Yeah biological warfare is beyond scary and someth...Yeah biological warfare is beyond scary and something that only makes sense if you think about it as something happening in a screen and pushing a button and never stopping to think about what it really entails or imagine the real consequences to people!<br /><br />Great post Alyssa!
