Water bears are micro organisms that can be found almost any where on earth. They have incredible ability of survival. They can survive in temperature ranging from -200 degrees Celsius to 150 degrees Celsius. There was an experiment of sending this water bear to space and expose it for 10 days. After the satellite came back to earth, it was found that 68% of the water bears were a live. It is not only the vacuum that is the problem in space. The radiation from the sun is 1000 times higher than that on earth and it is amazing that an animal can survive through such an environment.
