A tiny, six-legged critter that can suspend all biological activity in extreme environments survived a journey to space that would have instantly killed any human and most other life forms.


This made me think of the other post about an advanced alien species sending life out to other planets taking the place of God in the ID theory.

Maybe these guys will be the candidates we send out, should we have to. Maybe their descendants will wonder if we were "gods"....

Damn and all I can think about is every Sci Fi movie/story that involves radiating a life-form and having it mutate into something else....something deadly!
