Bacteria Aboard Mir Space Station Harmless
Moscow (Interfax) Oct. 12, 2000

The bacteria living aboard Russia's space station Mir will cause no harm
after the station is sunk in the Pacific Ocean, Cosmonaut Boris Morukov,
Doctor of Sciences in Medicine, said at a Thursday news conference in
Moscow.

"The very fact that no cosmonaut was ill during the long stays at the
station during its fourteen years in space is sufficient evidence of that,"
Morukov said.
