So the astronauts better hope they never get food poisoning

Is this yet another example of why we should be sending machines up
there instead of unmodified organics?

I remember suggesting on this forum once that we should genetically
modify people who could live in actual space and a variety of worlds
without needing a spacesuit or other protection. As usual it was shot
down for all sorts of reasons.

Makes me think if this were 1902 and I made a suggestion about a
heavier-than-air vehicle that could fly it would be shot down too,
including because God didn't give us wings, therefore we should not
do it.
