Sea plankton have been found on the International Space Station – but how did they get there? | Science | theguardian.com

My guess is that a hurricane lifted plankton into the atmosphere and it made its way to the jet stream, eventually hitching a ride on the ISS during launch.

Look out for space whales.

Maybe Plankton originates elsewhere in the Solar system. Perhaps when that comet collided with Jupiter a while back. It may have thrown up some Plankton from the Jovian oceans. I didn't know Plankton could survive in the vacuum of space.
