>>My only problem with it is we  are
talking low earth orbit not the far reaches of the solar system,  I'd
like to see them survive away from the protection of the earth's  mag
field before I get too excited...<<

I would like to agree  with you here, but to be honest, I believe it was 
the surveyer moon probe that  sat on the moon for a few years before an Apollo 
manned moon landing happened  nearby. The astronauts removed surveyors 
camera and brought it back and virus  that was attached to the insides of the 
camera were revived.
