Bacteria placed outside the International Space Station was found to be still alive after 553 days in space.
The discovery could help pave the way for life support systems based on using bacteria to recycle everything, it also suggests primitive life could have survived a journey through space on as asteroid or comet.The bugs were put on the exterior of the space station to see how they would cope in the hostile conditions that exist above the Earth's atmosphere. And when scientists inspected the microbes a year and a half later, they found many were still alive.
