Life can survive in Space!

''
Tiny invertebrates called 'water bears' can survive in the vacuum of space, a European Space Agency experiment has shown. They are the first animals known to be able to survive the harsh combination of low pressure and intense radiation found in space.
...
After 10 days of exposure to space, the satellite returned to Earth.
...
But only a handful of animals survived full exposure to the Sun's UV light, which is more than 1000 times stronger in space than on the Earth's surface.
...
Before this experiment, only lichen and bacteria were known to be able to survive exposure to the combination of vacuum and space radiation.
