100-million-year-old seafloor sediment bacteria have been resuscitated

With as many Mars missions as we’ve sent, I feel like we’ve got to have dropped off some microbes on that planet, right? Somewhere between the sterilization process, the trip to the launchpad, and the trip out of the atmosphere, there must be living things on those rovers… right?

Everybody likes the Cthulhu jokes of course, but this definitely fits the description of “that is not dead which can eternal lie”. I guess we’re living in “strange eons” then.

I guess the zombie apocalypse is imminent. Ah well, it was a good run.

Not as far as I can tell.
Dogs and cats living together and now this unholy joining.
We had it coming, honestly.

Lovecraft wrote of ‘seals’ to be broken before the old gods woke -
One was ‘man’ leaving a footprint on the moon
One was the Antarctic thawing to release the life forms suspended there

I can’t remember what the third one was and can’t find the reference in any of my Lovecraft books?
