Life on Moon is now possible
Tuesday, September 10, 2019 IST
Studies reveal that life on the moon is now possible, but only for Earth's toughest creatures who can survive extreme conditions.
Microscopic creatures from Earth called tardigrades made it out alive from the crash landed Beresheet probe by Israel in April. Their survival indicated that Earth’s creatures that can withstand extreme temperatures and radiations can actually survive on the lunar surface too.
“We believe the chances of survival for the tardigrades... are extremely high," Nova Spivack, co-founder and chairman of the Arch Mission Foundation, told AFP. The organization aims to spread a backup of human intelligence throughout the universe in a quest to create a galactic ‘Encylopedia’.
The Tardigrades were stored inside nano-technological devices called a ‘Lunar Library’. The devices are similar to a DVD and contain 30-million pages worth of human history viewable under microscopes. They even have samples of human DNA.
