First-time Human Posted June 25, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I firmly believe that life will always find a way to survive, despite any disaster, minor or major, and has has been seen many times on this 3rd rock from the sun, so why shouldn't that same principle apply beyond our atmosphere.

None of the above Posted June 26, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That was the first thing I thought csspwns. The Tardigrade is truly legendary in its hardiness! Have a look at their wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
