They easily withstand temperatures that go from 200 ° degrees below zero to more than 150 ° well above the boiling point of water. They are the only living beings capable of surviving in a drought since they have the ability to eliminate all the water from their body and encapsulate themselves in a dormant state.
On April 11, 2019, Beresheet, which in Hebrew means "the beginning", the small unmanned Israeli spacecraft weighing about 600 kilograms and 1.5 meters high launched by the Israeli non-profit organization SpecIL, was programmed to landing on the lunar surface but crashed in the latter part of its journey at about 149 meters. of the lunar surface.
¡Now good!
To know how thousands of tardigrades ended up on the moon, you have to understand why Baresheet (the spacecraft) took them on board in his ship, we owe everything to Arch Mission Foundation whose objective is to create a "copy of safety of planet earth, "said organization created an archive of 30 million pages of information that was sent to the moon to preserve it, thousands of high resolution images, almost all of Wikipedia, thousands of classic books, samples of human blood and thousands dehydrated tardigrades protected with layers of resin and more curiosities of the earth. All in twenty-five micron-thick nickel layers. It is believed that due to the small size of the box with the backup and the resin with the tardigrades at the time of impact, it is very likely that the tardigrades were saved and of course the tardigrades as well.
In conclusion; we will have to wait for it to be confirmed that the lunar library is in good condition and then find out if these beings can stay alive, although it is true that a myth has been created around the tardigrades about their extreme survival since right now they are dehydrated and in a state from which they cannot be recovered unless they are in optimal environmental conditions and with the help of humans.
You have to go to the moon, to resurrect them because right now they are in the * Sea of Serenides * with no one to take care of them.
