Scientists in Denmark send them to outer space, 80-92% of them survived ... wtf :D!! I love these creatures.
-
It's a beautiful video. Microscopes opened up an entire world we never noticed.
looking at the environments they can survive in, makes me wonder if they could survive space travel.

It is a Tardigrade or Water Bear (Hypsibius dujardini)walking in a thin film of water. It was imaged using a dark field microscope with a motorised stage, considering their size of half a millimetre they are fast little movers!

oops Tardigrade... hehe
I just looked them up... I'd call surviving 0-6000 atmospheres, living 120 days dehydrated, not ding at temperatures of -272°C to 151°C or radiation 570,000 rads, quite amazing.
water bears.
