Tardigrade chaser for this messed up week

Aiming to maintain a backup of planet Earth around the Solar System, Beresheet carried the foundation’s lunar library – a tiny 30-million page archive of human history and civilization, human DNA samples and a few thousand dehydrated tardigrades.


Now all I can imagine is a million years from now, some alien archaeologists, 15 million pages into the history of all humanity, saying “This is all great, but where do the tardigrades fit in with this story?”
