Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this

week coming to you live from pool. My name is Dan Schreiber I'm sitting here with Anna

Toshinsky Andrew Hunter Murray and James Harkin and once again we have gathered around the microphones

with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we

go starting with fact number one and that is James. My fact this week is that tardigrades

can survive being shot out of a gun but they're a bit groggy afterwards. Tardigrades.

Tardigrades yes tiny little things not quite microscopic you can see them if you look really

really carefully but very very small little things living in all over the world probably

some in your garden probably some on this stage. No they're not on this stage they live

in like moss and in bits of grass and stuff like that they're really really strong powerful

things you can't kill them virtually nothing will kill them. They're not powerful like

they can't put a lorry they're not going to get a pick back. They're not for the man

they're a wreck and what do you reckon? I think it's enough of anything you can put a lorry.

We don't need them to put a lorry we just need them to drive a lorry. Apparently scientists

I read can't work out a scenario in which they would go extinct prior to the actual explosion

of the sun basically like the explosion of the sun might not kill them either. So basically

they can survive in space they can survive really really hot temperatures really really cold

temperatures they can survive loads of radiation if they get in trouble they just kind of shut

their bodies down and then kind of get rid of all the water and you put a bit of water

to back on them and they come back alive again and what has happened is some of these tadec

raids have been sent up into space onto the moon and they've crashed into the moon and

people are wondering maybe they're alive and maybe they're actually living there on
