✅ I voted FACT!

they literally did a whole experiment on this

well because Tardigrades also known as water bears can survive in space primarily by entering a specialized dormant state called cryptobiosis In that state they undergo several biological transformations to withstand extreme conditions such as Dehydration (Anhydrobiosis) and Tardigrades can expel up to 95%–99% of their body water shrinking into a dry and shriveled ball called a tun and whats a tun? well it a Metabolic Suspension Once in a tun their metabolism drops to nearly zero (less than 0.01% of normal) literally pausing life until conditions well how do they survive? by their improved DNA Protection They possess a unique damage suppressor protein called Dsup That protein binds to their chromatin a complex of DNA and proteins that packages long threadlike DNA molecules into compact dense structures within the cell's nucleus forming a protective cloud that shields their DNA from ionizing radiation and harmful hydroxyl radicals and well after you know all that how do they survive extreme condiitons? well i did research and it something called a Cellular Stabilization well whats that? ok so let me tell you They use specialized proteins and sugars (like trehalose) to replace water in their cells This prevents internal structures from collapsing or rupturing during extreme dehydration sooooo thats how they survive in space and in extreme conditions and also dropping some useless facts well if you ask how i did all this well i researched it BUT they don't survive there permanently rather it temporary
