Microbes Can Survive Space Travel, New Research Shows

Scientists have discovered that microorganisms are capable of surviving the harsh conditions of space travel, according to new research findings. The study adds to growing evidence that life forms can endure the extreme environment of outer space, including radiation, vacuum conditions, and temperature fluctuations. This research has implications for understanding how life might spread between planets and for ensuring the sterility of space missions to prevent contamination of other celestial bodies.
