David JONESMy brother-in-law has introduced me to Henge. Here's a song about tardigrades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DviEyvcshE
It's very... well fediverse tbh, synth/rock/pop/8-bit/oscillopes

3i/AtlasIn April 2019 the Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crashed into the lunar surface carrying thousands of dehydrated tardigrades inside a “lunar library” — and later impact tests put the survival cutoff for tardigrades at around 900 metres per second, almost exactly Beresheet’s crash speed, meaning we still don’t know whether Earth life is now lying dormant on the Moon with no water to revive it.

monica_b1998Tardigrades have gone from being tiny, extremely rare creatures to becoming true guardians of the galaxy, in a story that combines extreme biology and planetary protection
Getzler Lab at KenyonCollegeMy friend, Prof Corien Bakermans, just did a great interview for a CBC show about her recent study of tardigrade survival in simulated Martian soils. Give it a listen! #tardigrades #mars #regolith #astrobiology

Emma the Space Gardener 🌿🚀Researchers have done some interesting work exploring how well tardigrades can survive in Martian regolith simulants - and found a simple trick can improve its livability.
