Scientists Want To Send Tardigrades To Distant Stars

Interstellar travel is no longer confined to the realm of science fiction, but it has emerged as an exciting prospect. While we may never see a real-world version of the fictional warp-speeding, hyperdrive, space-folding type, scientists are having early discussions about how life could break free from the confines of our solar system using technology that is within our grasp. And yeah... Tardigrades can help us.

Wonder, when and if the concept becomes a reality, how incredible it would be... given that, even when it isn't a reality, it sounds like a plot of a mind-blowing science fiction movie.

Excellent Video, This is a very interesting concept, hopefully, it will get off the ground, while I'm still above the ground Ha Ha, Thanks to everyone and, btw, Melissa, you have a wonderfully pleasant voice, I could listen to you speak about anything, and enjoy it immensely, looking forward to next Sunday!

Humanity needs to seriously consider that this might have been the way life started on 🌎. It's not out of the relm it truly isn't. Another thing humanity seriously needs to do is to stop being arrogant. I hope as a species we successfully spread through out the galaxy. I'm not a liberal by any means but we really seriously need to preserve our home mother earth. It's basically our spaceship in the universe and we don't want to abandon ship prematurely. Nice video as always Arndt 👍
