Thoughts for Countdown Article

In Thoughts for a Countdown, Thomas discusses further how all cellular life on this planet is interconnected and similar. I agree with his statement because all of us in this world are human and we have lives. We communicate with each other to make this planet a greater place to live in. He discusses the custom that was prevalent throughout the Apollo program that astronauts returning from space would be ushered into isolation wearing surgical masks. The implication is, of course, that the astronauts may have brought a strange virus. He states that this whole notion is built on a faulty understanding of science and biology. He points out that most of the associations on this planet between living things are cooperative.
