In the early hours of June 5, 2021, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) welcomed some unusual visitors: 128 baby bobtail squids and 5,000 tardigrades. The micro-animals were part of SpaceX's 22nd cargo resupply mission that delivered over 7,300 pounds of equipment and supplies — including treats like fresh apples and oranges — to the station. NASA researchers hope that the tiny critters will enable them to better understand the impacts of space travel on the human body.

          The squids are so cute. The tardigrades not so much, but I can't believe they are in space! What a miraculous adventure!

                  This is amazing! I'm pretty sure tardigrades are a kind of extremophile--and I'm sure we can learn a lot about extreme survival from them.
