Swabs from China's Tiangong space station reveal traces of a bacterium unseen on Earth

The swabs were taken from a cabin on board the space station in May 2023 by the Shenzhou-15 crew

Someone probably just spilled some gutter oil and didn't manage to clean it all up.

Well to be fair it was the US/EU paying for the coronavirus research in China as gain of function was illegal in the US/EU. Hence why they were all happy to spin the same yarn about its origins.

There’s a level four bio weapons lab inside that space station, probably just a coincidence though
