"In 2007, a little known creature called a tardigrade (non-scientific name, the water bear) became the first animal to survive exposure to space.
It prevailed over sub-zero temperatures, unrelenting solar winds and an oxygen-deprived space vacuum.
On Monday, this microscopic cosmonaut has once again hitched a ride into space on the Nasa shuttle Endeavour." - BBC
WATER BEARS IN SPACE
Imagine the scene in a time far, far away
The Earth is long since gone
Eaten by the Sun
The Sun itself has morphed
from giant to frozen dwarf
Deep in the depths of space
a race picks up a trace
of life from another place
The Earth is long since gone
Eaten by the Sun
The Sun itself has morphed
from giant to frozen dwarf
Deep in the depths of space
a race picks up a trace
of life from another place
They marvel at the life saved
Find its name on board
and call its planet 'Terra Tardigrade'
and ponder the ways of that world
Find its name on board
and call its planet 'Terra Tardigrade'
and ponder the ways of that world
