In April 2019, thousands of dehydrated tardigrades, human DNA samples, and other cargo were sent to the Moon. But the pod crash-landed, and the project developers are convinced that these tiny organisms may be the only ones who survived the mission.
Tardigrades, also often called “water bears,” are microscopic creatures that can survive in almost any environment. It is known that scientists managed to bring tardigrades back to life after 30 years of deep freezing. Being extremophiles, tardigrades shut down their metabolism and survive in harsh environments for very long periods. Tardigrades can withstand pressure comparable to an asteroid falling on Earth, so an emergency landing, like the one that happened on the Moon, is nothing for them. These creatures are theoretically capable of living on the Moon for decades. Fascinating, isn’t it?
Here are some more extreme facts about the hardiest creatures on our planet.
