Astronauts Placed an Extreme Earth Organism in Outer Space. Nine Months Later, it Was Still Alive

When astronauts retrieved Earth moss that had been outside the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months, where it had been exposed to the harsh environment of outer space, they were shocked to find that 80% of its spores were still alive.
Once the spores were returned to Earth, scientists also discovered that most were capable of reproducing.
The Hokkaido University research team behind the unexpected discovery suggests that understanding this extreme Earth organism’s durability could help mission planners evaluate potential Earth-based life forms for adaptation to future human colonies in extraterrestrial environments like the Moon or Mars.

Research roundup: 6 cool stories we almost missed

The authors harvested fresh grapes and dried them for 28 days. Some were dried using an incubator, some were sun-dried, and a third batch was dried using a combination of the two methods. The researchers then added the resulting raisins to bottles of water—three samples for each type of drying process—sealed the bottles, and stored them at room temperature for two weeks. One incubator-dried sample and two combo samples successfully fermented, but all three of the sun-dried samples did so,
