TARDIGRADES ON THE MOON

The Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crash landed on the moon this summer.

It was carrying Arch Mission's lunar library, a vast digital archive of information.

Beresheet transported real human DNA samples and thousands of dehydrated tardigrades too!

It's unclear how much of this remained on the lunar surface after the crash landing.

Apparently Arch Mission sent enough DNA to re-start life on Earth!

How would we do that if there's no-one down here?
