Humans have long dreamed about setting up shop on the moon and establishing thriving colonies.
Unfortunately, the scientists lost control of the lander, and Beresheet crashed into the surface.
Tardigrades are known for withstanding extreme conditions.

They can remain frozen for decades, and can also survive high heat and overwhelming pressure.
This incredible endurance means they can survive the cold and the intense radiation of space without moisture.
But could the tardigrades aboard the Beresheet have made it?

They came to the conclusion that the lunar library was probably ejected from the probe during the crash.
But it could be possible to bring them back to Earth and then add the water.
The Beresheet crashed into the surface, but scientists have been wondering if these water bears might have survived.
