Can a virus come to Earth with astronaut?
Sunita Williams returned from space
NASA and Spacex’s spacecraft dragon capsules have reached the earth with an astronaut Sunita Williams of Indian origin. These four astronauts have come in Spacex’s dragon capsules. After 17 hours of flying from the International Space Station, the Dragon Capsule fell at 3.27 am Indian time with the help of parachute in the sea near the Florida coast of America at 3.27 am. All astronauts inside it are safe and now they will be kept in a special place for some time to mold the atmosphere of the earth. All astronauts will have a medical test. It will be tried to ensure that any kind of virus has come with those who have come back from space. Let us today we are going to tell you in detail about why and how long they have qualified after the moon mission held in 1969.
Let us tell you that on 20 July 1969, Astronaut Neel Armstrong, who went to the moon with Apollo 11 mission, became the first person who stepped on the moon. After him, Edwin Aldrin stepped on the moon. During this time, the third astronaut Michael Collis Command Module stayed in Colombia and kept circling the moon alone for about 21 hours. On July 24, 1969, when the Apollo 11 spacecraft landed in the Pacific Ocean, the three astronauts were first taken to a Qualin home where they were kept separate for 21 days.
In fact, for the first time an astronaut came in direct contact with any other celestial bodies other than the earth and then there was a possibility that they may have come in contact with any dangerous micro -organisms like bacteria, viruses or any other unknown element on the surface of the moon which may be dangerous for the rest of the earth. While keeping in the Quantin, the doctors continuously monitored the three astronauts. A separately formed team conducted different tests on the rock and dust brought from the moon, there is no such thing that can be dangerous for the organisms living on the earth.
Meanwhile, the 39th birthday of Neil Armstrong also came, which was celebrated in a very common way in Quarrant. In his surprise party, a cake decorated with candles was cut. It was prepared by the staff of Lunar Receiving Laboratory in Houston where Johnson Space Center is now. It was here that astronauts were kept in Quantin. Armstrong, after extinguishing the candles, fed the cake to its fellow astronauts and staff under their supervision. In the second room across the glass partition, the wives of these astronauts also celebrated Armstrong’s birthday.
The astronauts returned from the moon till Apollo 12 and Apollo 14 missions were kept in the Quantin. Once, scientists were convinced that there has been no such thing with astronauts returned from the moon which could be dangerous for the earth, then they were stopped to be kept in the Quantin.
