Their appearance is amusing - and they’re extremely hardy. Tardigrades are microscopic creatures. Their lumbering gait resembles that of bears, and they can withstand extreme temperatures, enormous pressure, toxic substances and radioactive radiation. NASA sent them into space in 2021 on board the ISS, where they orbited the Earth around 7,000 times. Thanks to the cute tardigrades, it may even be possible to find a way to send humans to Mars in the future. The survivalists show that life is possible everywhere - even where it seems unimaginable.
