Russia is busy right now. While launching a full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine, the country's space authorities are worried that their new space station might become contaminated with germs.
According to Wednesday's Newsweek report, plans for the Russian Orbital Space Station are still in motion, and it's possible that the country's equivalent of NASA could just detach its modules from the International Space Station.
A top Russian scientist says there is a big problem with that plan.
Some of the elements of the ROSS plan are already done, according to the head of the Russian space agency. It seems like experts have to figure out how to keep the new station clean.
It's possible the germs he's worried about could do some damage after a previous expedition on the Mir station experienced some mechanical failure.
It's anyone's guess how much of the future of space exploration will be affected by the little bugs on the International Space Station.
Japanese scientists say that the asteroid's sample contains clues to the origin of life.
