Tardigrades may be alive on moon following Beresheet crash landing

The transcript discusses the crash of Israel's Bear Sheet spacecraft on the moon, which carried tardigrades, also known as water bears or moss piglets. These resilient organisms can survive extreme conditions and were dehydrated by the Arch Mission Foundation to enter suspended animation. Encased in amber, they were sent to the moon with a vast archive of human history. Despite the crash, researchers believe the tardigrades likely survived but need water to reanimate.

Why do researchers believe the Tartagrades might survive the crash?

• They are resilient

• They were dehydrated

• They were encased in amber

• All of the above

What must be done to the Tartagrades in order to reanimate them?

• Expose them to light

• Reintroduce them to water

• Feed them nutrients

• None of the above
