Inb4 we're hunting uncontacted tribespeople to collect unpolluted samples, and they are also polluted.

Weird idea, but is there anyone we know of from very early in the space race who died in space and is still up there in a capsule or something like that?

They might not be completely free of micro plastics but it might give us something to compare ourselves against at least (IE how much micro plastic is in someone from say 1962 compared to now).
