The Past Tense Of Sleep

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Sloop is a more quirkier manner of suggesting one is in an excessive need of sleep but is present in a gathering of friends, and so, painfully refrains oneself from passing out at any given moment because of the lack of sleep, and proceeds to joke around, telling people he/she needs to “sloop” laughs, and ones friends join him/her with laughter, but we all know that one never sleeps, therefore sloops.
