RE: Why NASA Is Blasting Water Bears And Bobtail Squid Into Space

in Steem Links4 years ago

microorganisms such as tardigrades can withstand harsh environments, it is necessary to see if it can withstand solar radiation and if it can live without oxygen in hot and cold space.

According to what Thomas Boothby says, these will be a challenge for this microorganism that can seek to adapt to hard space travel, but I am thinking, What scientific benefit could be evaluated on the behavior of the tardigrade in space? How could this research benefit upcoming space flights? These are mysteries of science that will soon have an answer.
