Nothing on Earth Can Kill This Creature… So We Sent It to SPACE

Nothing on Earth Can Kill This Creature… So We Sent It to SPACE Boil it, freeze it to near absolute zero, crush it under pressure that would flatten a submarine, blast it with enough radiation to kill anything else alive, the tardigrade just shrugs and keeps going. Scientists have been trying to kill this half-millimeter "moss piglet" for over 250 years and keep failing, so eventually we did the only thing left: we fired it into the vacuum of open space to see if that would finally do it. In this video we trace how this absurd little animal was discovered, how researchers slowly realized it breaks nearly every rule of biology, the strange survival trick that actually makes it possible, and what an unkillable creature could mean for the future of the human race. It's real, it's almost impossible, and it's living in the moss outside right now.
