The worst place ever to raise a family. The place is full of creepy white men and pedophiles. Nearly every family has a rabid dog that wants to eat your fucking legs off, preppy teenager, stupid and annoying as shit little kid, and a myspace faggot account. People have gone swimming and died in their water resevoir, and the only thing that makes it in any way pretty is the fact that their faggy music they blast on max volume doesn't kill the plants. If you live in parkesburg, you probably suck at every subject in school and have at least 2 medications.

Obama came by once in a train, when parkesburg found out all of the hippies, black people, and mentally screwed up women came and shouted his name over 9000 times. And you know what? He didn't even pronounce the name right.

Watch out for the faggots who like to ride their tractors like motorcycles.

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.
