Life in Outer Space

- Tardigrades: The World's Toughest Critters

Quote:

In September 2008 a box of water bears was launched into orbit 270 km above the Earth. They were passengers aboard the Russian Satellite FOTON-M3 on a mission named TARDIS (Tardigrades In Space).... Many were found to have survived the trip intact.
