Scientists Tried Everything to Kill This Creature🦑Added:
Scientists [music] shot this creature into outer space with no suit, no oxygen, no protection. It survived. They froze it at minus 272 degrees, 1 degree [music] from absolute zero. It survived.
They boiled it, crushed it under pressure six times deeper [music] than the deepest ocean, blasted it with radiation that would kill a human in seconds. Every single time it [music] came back, the tardigrade, half a millimeter long and completely, utterly unkillable. Scientists don't fully understand how it's still alive. Neither do we.
