“Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures from −459 °F to +304 °F, 1,000 times more radiation than other animals, and live almost a decade without water.”

"In September 2007, tardigrades were taken into low Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission and for 10 days were exposed to the vacuum of space. After they were returned to Earth, it was discovered that many of them survived and laid eggs that hatched normally.[8]"
