Tardigrade "Water Bear"

This little critter is known as a water bear or a Tardigrade. In 2008 they were the first animal demonstrated to be able to survive the vacuum of space. They are virtually indestructible  survive being blasted with radiation, intense pressures & years of desiccation. Specimens were launched into space by Swedish scientists & they returned unharmed after 8 days.
