Okay, but having terrestrial bacteria survive for two years in space on a piece of equipment isn't IMO quite the same thing as "contaminating the moon". For one thing, "contaminating the moon" I would interpret to mean the bacteria actually growing and multiplying on the moon's surface. So is there any evidence for that, like if they brought back some moon rocks subsequent to Apollo 12 and tested them for terrestrial bacteria? Has anybody ever looked?
