#Introduction  From 2012-2014 we conducted a nationwide citizen science project, Project MERCCURI [http://spacemicrobes.org/](http://spacemicrobes.org/), aimed at raising public awareness of microbiology and research on board the International Space Station (ISS). Project MERCCURI (Microbial Ecology Research Combining Citizen and University Researchers on the ISS) was a collaborative effort involving the "microbiology of the Built Environmnet network" (microBEnet), (microBEnet) group,  Science Cheerleader, NanoRacks, Space Florida, and Scistarter.com. One of theprimary  goals of Project MERCCURI  was to examine how a number of non-pathogenic, built environment associated bacteria would grow on board the ISS compared to on earth. Most previous work growing bacteria in space has focused on pathogens (e.g. E.coli \cite{9043122} \cite{12521048} and Pseudomonas \cite{21169425} \cite{24192060}) , and much less attention has been paid to the "normal" microbes that surround us. An understandable bias towards pathogens and pathogenic pathways is highlighted by work on topics such as biofilm formation (\cite{23658630}, \cite{11179638}), antibiotic resistance/production (\cite{16091928}, \cite{11543359}, \cite{12483468} reviewed in \cite{16460819}), and virulence (\cite{10816456}, \cite{24283929}).
