Does it include the stuff about how they faked the moon landings?

See first Comment at that url, hehe.

This is the first paper I wanted to look up.

Microbial Monitoring of Crewed Habitats in Space—Current Status and Future Perspectives

With a bit of luck it will give me an overview of the microorganisms that have made the journey to space.

A lot of the NASA stuff is humdrum ground – based research.

Hmm, 78% of the staphylococci and enterococci onboard the ISS are antibiotic resistant.

Hmm, not a hot of information about Eris, except for an article about why Mars is smaller than Earth.

PS, is it just me or is access to these NASA articles making everyone’s computer freeze?

Nothing on Eris.
Nothing on Triton.
Nothing on Phobos!
Does NASA do any exploration of planets and moons at all?

Here’s an interesting experiment on the origin of life, Miller-Urey with a twist. Done at a chilly 15 Kelvin.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC14665/

Plenty of other articles about origin of life. eg. A Strategy for Origins of Life Research

Organic molecules in the Sheepbed Mudstone, Gale Crater, Mars
Not so exciting. “Here we report the definitive identification of chlorobenzene and C2 to C4 dichloroalkanes with the SAM gas chromatograph, these chlorinated hydrocarbons are the reaction products of Martian chlorine and organic carbon.”

If you’ve been wondering what the Chanda X-ray spacecraft has been up to, have a quick squiz at
Chandra’s first decade of discovery

Come on, Phobos is dry as a bone

Nothing on Eris.
Nothing on Triton.
Nothing on Phobos

By that I mean that NASA-sponsored research includes nothing specifically about Eris, Triton or Phobos, except occasionally in other contexts, such as exoplants.

Nothing on Charon.
Nothing on Pluto.
Nothing on Vesta.
Nothing on Ceres.
Nothing on Neptune.
Nothing on Uranus.
Nothing on Mercury.

This is getting ridiculous, no NASA-funded research papers on any of those!

I’m beginning to think that the only NASA sponsored research available on this public site is the research that specifically relates to medicine, plus a bare couple of odds and ends about such topics as planet formation.

I didn’t know that NASA had discovered any exoplants.

How about exoanimals?

Maybe an exoskeleton……….

I suppose research of medicine is quite paramount to crewed missions of any significant duration, it would put the kudos on missions to Mars and elsewhere if we found medicines didn’t work properly in microgravity and non earth gravity environments. It would be interesting to see if healing of wounds/broken bones, etc is hindered as well. Also I wonder if diseases that kill us are affected by differing gravity

> Exoplants

Darn spellchecker. Type in exo and it immediately gives the option exoplant. Type in exop and it immediately changes it to exoplants. LOL.

Good questions Cymek.

There’s a lot of bone loss in space, so I suspect that it’s not the best place for healing bone fractures.

The high radiation levers wouldn’t help much. Some relevant article titles:

“Apollo Lunar Astronauts Show Higher Cardiovascular Disease Mortality”.
“Effects of Sex and Gender on Adaptations to Space: Reproductive Health”.
“Effect of Spaceflight on Ability of Monocytes To Respond to Endotoxins of Gram-Negative Bacteria”
“Changes in the Fungal Autoflora of Apollo Astronauts”
“Severe traumatic injury during long duration spaceflight”
“Spaceflight Enhances Cell Aggregation and Random Budding in Candida albicans”
“Space Habitation and Microbiology: Status and Roadmap of Space Agencies”
“Spaceflight Promotes Biofilm Formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa”
“Immune Responses of Drosophila melanogaster Are Altered by Spaceflight”
“Microbial Responses to Microgravity”
“Tissue engineering of cartilage in space”.

Etc.

So nothing about aliens then?
Maybe the headline should be “NASA releases research they want you to see”.
