The survivability tests of microbes in space conditions started more than 90 years ago. The early experiments utilised balloon flights and rocket payloads to expose the microorganisms in spaceflight conditions. In 1966, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) performed experiments on microbes by exposing them to space conditions. The resilience of those organisms was poor due to the radiation of the space.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), generally known as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), may have been evolved from bats. A recent article published in the Nature Medicine journal used genomic data of novel coronavirus and predicted that the origin of coronavirus is natural and not laboratory-made.
Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered antibiotics almost ninety years ago. He noticed that some molds had grown on a Petri plate wherever bacteria could not grow.
