Summary; Water bears are the first animals in the world to survive the vacuum and radiation of space. Ecologist Ingemar Jönsson sent 3,000 microscopic water bears on a 12 day space trip. He did this to find out more about the basic physiology of the water bears by seeing if they could survive in the space enviorment. The next thing he is going to do is to try to umderstand the mechanisms behind the tolerence in the water bears.
Critique; I really like this article it is really interesting!
Impact; I think in 20 years humans will be able to live in space without a spacesuit!
