Did Life On Earth Arrive From Space?
Tardigrades or ‘water bears’, might just be the best space explorers we know of. But, could they actually be the reason for life on Earth?

For funsies here's a doodle of Lt. Tardigrade dressed as Star Trek's Khan, driving a Toyota Tercel with a shark strapped to the roof (stalwart copilot).
This had context back in the day but it's best appreciated now without.

Also made a new Tardigrade doodle to celebrate Star Trek Online's new consoles.
Lt. Tardigrade thinks his is the best. It makes toast.

"Tardigrades can completely dehydrate and later rehydrate themselves, a survival trick that scientists are harnessing to preserve medicines in hot temperatures."

Sorry to dote, but heading to Meg’s graduation party I’m running through all the times she was in trouble for her #neurodivergent thinking in JHS/HS. Called in to teacher conferences when she debated definitions of life in science (carbon basis, extraterrestrial, so on) or failing history after an A regents and paper, because she couldn’t turn in drafts along the way. Now her gig is organizing lectures on topics ranging from #tardigrades to prison reform at an Ivy League. Go Megan! #education

@picard Great photo! #Tardigrades always look to me like they're wearing spacesuits.
Come over to my exibithion in Leipzig at the spinnerei Rundgang! I will be showing my costumes that imitate a roach, a tardigrade and a fruit fly.

My brother loves Sandhill Cranes, so for his birthday I made him the following doodle.

Take a look at the latest craze - it's tiny, and it's everywhere! #MarshMadness #Tardigrades #PandemicMania https://www.GPTrending.com/#/?date=2023-03-02&topic=marshmadness

For #FossilFriday check out this cutie pie - this is a ~525 million year old #fossil, that may be an early relative of today's #tardigrades (scale bars 1/10 mm). If you've not heard of them, tardigrades - or water bears - are beautiful, minute #animals. They are closely related to #arthropods (arachnids, insects, millipedes, crustaceans and kin). This cool little fossil has three leg pairs, with tiny claws.

@wendinoakland @lowqualityfacts not sure what this is but there's some on the #tardigrades hashtag including my post https://ecoevo.social/@jopabinia/109593727286558330

"The #ceremony of installing the disk containing the #LunarLibrary in the #spacecraft was a #publicity stunt. Delivering the spacecraft to the #LaunchSite was also a #show for the #media – from the transport to Ben Gurion #Airport with the completely #unnecessary #police escort, to its loading onto the cargo plane ✈️.
It seems that the #debate over whether #tardigrades can #survive on the #moon has reached well beyond the #space buffs’ circles https://davidson.weizmann.ac.il/en/online/sciencepanorama/what-happened-beresheet

For #InverteFest how about some soft legged arthropod friends like #tardigrades and #onychophorans ? The latter is in the middle of a molt (like arthropods, both these groups grow by shedding their cuticle)

It's that time of year,
When we chug a beer,
and think merrily upon,
this quizzical season.
where tardigrades bestow
onto jolly old fellows
cookies great and small.
Happy festivities to all.

I’d bet there are some #tardigrades in there. Moss is their fave hangout in general. You need a glass to see them though.
Every time I look at #moss, I think about the #tardigrades that could well be wandering around in there.
It's a thought that amazes me every time :blobaww:
