  1. #Tardigrades... 500 million years of evolution and they survive in the most extreme conditions... without AI and without fucking up the planet

    humans... more or less 300000 years and in the last 200 years completely fucked up the planetary equilibrium that are required for its own survival

    this should just remind us to be a little more humble and stop thinking that we, humans, are the most evolved form of life

  5. In 2007, ESA sent 3,000 tardigrades into low Earth orbit; after 10 days of vacuum and UV-A/UV-B exposure, 68% revived upon rehydration

    On September 14, 2007, a European Space Agency exposure platform bolted to the outside of a Russian Foton-M3…

  12. #SciFi #Microfiction of the day: Spacewastebin's impact of a rocket on the #moon wakes up the #tardigrades. They were shattered there in 2019 and since then they mutated with unknown intelligent bacteria.

    They are so hungry, for years! Their food: only billionaire/trillionaire humans. Sniffing at the rocket debris, they find the perfect target on earth.

    An alien spaceship hits the USA. Suddenly Spacewastebin cries so loud! But the tardigrades giggle happily when starting the party dinner.

    The water has remained #underground since the #IceAge more than 11,000 years ago. The isolated #environment contains hundreds of fungal species alongside tiny #worms and #tardigrades.

  25. In April 2019 the Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crashed into the lunar surface carrying thousands of dehydrated tardigrades inside a “lunar library” — and later impact tests put the survival cutoff for tardigrades at around 900 metres per second, almost exactly Beresheet’s crash speed, meaning we still don’t know whether Earth life is now lying dormant on the Moon with no water to revive it.
