In 1969, Apollo 12 went to the Moon to retrieve pieces of the Surveyor III robotic trailblazer.

When the Surveyor III was first assembled, an engineer had sneezed into it.

When the Apollo 12 astronauts brought back pieces of the Surveyor III traces of bacteria were found.

After three years without air, light, or water, bacteria was brought back to life in a lab.
