Cute little things and rather amazing in their abilities.

Fascinating but colonising is an exaggeration. It is rather like having a seed there. It has the potential for life but it is not actually living until given the correct environment for life.

It is also purely speculation that they are still alive too.

Well yes but it's a bit boring to say "water bears in hibernation on the moon".

They have survived in the vacuum of space (whilst being hit by solar radiation), they just shut down and then reanimate when the environment is suitable - they should be able to do the same with a stay on the moon.

Yes.

You would make a good headline writer for a paper.

Thanks for sharing - it is a very interesting article. I saw a headline about it but it looked simply like clickbait so I ignored it. It was good to read the Beeb's article on it.

This is madness. They'll probably have nukes in a decade.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
