RE: Active Tardigrade Index: the measure that describes if Exoplanets could sustain life
High quality Tardigrade content. I approve.
Reminds me of the best shirt I ever bought myself.

Awesome shirt!
I'll never forget when we treated them with the cold plasma. Plasma needle, like this one.
After the time was sufficient to kill bacteria (we tested, it was very efficient) - they were just fine.
We continued for about 20 min, the time sufficient to kill bacterial films. And for no good reason, we continued to 30 min. About 1/2 of water evaporated, the plate was hot, the whole plasma generator started to generate some funny smell.
I put the plate under the microscope, and perfectly happy Tardigrades were swimming around.
I checked them tomorrow, they looked a bit slow and hungry, so I gave them Rotifers.
About an hour later they enjoyed sucking the "Greek amphora" shaped Rotifers and enjoyed being Tardigrades.
Plasma inferno from the day before? They never noticed...
Tardigrades are truly awesome
