	I wonder how long until they find the bags of feces and start multiplying. __________________ “I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.” - Richard Feynman

	The thousands of tardigrades are dehydrated in a resin-like layer of a data disc. What I'm stunned to find out is tardigrades have already been dehydrated, rehydrated and revived after ten years of this stasis state already. Presumably somewhere in the data of the disc is the recipe for reviving these creatures. __________________ "Don't disturb my circles." translation of Archimedes last words

	Tardigrades might grow much larger in a low gravity environment....maybe one day the moon with be overrun with giant tardigrade dinosaurs... ...or like the creatures in Tremors...a lot can change in a billion years... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	A much greater worry is the 62-63 million retardigrades in the US electorate. __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.
