The topic of human space travel is far from over at the moment because no human currently has the capabilities or technology to survive in space conditions. Indeed, this is not the case for microorganisms. In particular, the research of a microorganism by sending it to space in order to shed light on humanity’s space travel is an interesting topic.
Space travel, especially black holes or wormholes still for the human race, given very close to impossible a title located in a position. It is not known when humanity will be able to travel in space with no problems and be monitored from a center, but the professors at UC Santa Barbara University have an idea.
Santa Barbara professors Philip Lubin and Joel Rothman, in their further research,‘water bears’ known as tardigrade microscopic organisms despite many conditions in space that they can survive and therefore they proposed sending them to nearby star systems.
“Our destiny is to discover”
Rothman said in a statement. “I think it is our destiny to continue to explore, simply look at the history of the human species. We are making discoveries on smaller and larger scales all the way down to the subatomic levels. At the core of who/what we are as a species lies a constant search for discovery.” says.
These tardigrade microorganisms, almost they cannot be destroyed. These creatures live in extreme cold, in outer space and even even with a bullet fired from a gun they can survive and continue their metabolic processes. However, these creatures are not immortal, of course, and how long they can survive in space cannot be predicted at this time.

For this reason, some people discussing the ethics because one of these creatures not conscious and they want to be sent there to see how they will react in the space environment. If sent Great progress can be made in human space travel. What do you think about the situation? We are waiting your comments.
