literally means rock in Armenian. Tashjians are strong, smart, and super-sexy people. They know what they want, they go for it, and they get it. They are stubborn and don't take no for an answer! They have alot of pride, are also loud, tend to spit while talking, and are crazy dancers. Tashjians liven up the party. If there's no party, they make one. They'll sing songs and dance to them! They love their music and heritage and aren't ashamed of (or regret) anything! Tashjians are the SHIT! *Abriiisss*

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.
