• Resumen

  • This article discusses research, published in the September 9, 2008 issue of "Current Biology," into the ability of tardigrades to survive in outer space. These invertebrates, also known as water bears, are known to survive on the ocean floor and in deserts. The possibility that other animals adapted to extreme conditions such as nematodes and brine shrimp could survive outer space is considered.
