en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade
“Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures of close to absolute zero (?273 °C (?459 °F)), temperatures as high as 151 °C (304 °F), 1,000 times more radiation than other animals, and almost a decade without water. In September 2007, tardigrades were taken into low Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission and for 10 days were exposed to the vacuum of space. After they were returned to Earth, it was discovered that many of them survived and laid eggs that hatched normally. In May 2011, studies involving tardigrades were included on STS-134, the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour.”

The survival suits from “Yes Men Fix The World” look like they were based on one of these! wowcool.com/engine/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/poster-sundance.jpg

Yea I saw this pic on the BBC website, really impressed by photography at that level! (assuming it’s real / not messed with – don’t think it is)

It’s a false colour SEM image. The technique has been around for so long that modern images can be as clear as photos.

Just an awesome (and disturbing) image…
Can we now see lice and others like this ?
Do we really want to ?
Does it say somewhere how many of these we ingest per year ?

Looks like a Halloween costume made out of blown up trash bags.
