Indestructible Moss
The Wolverine Of The Moss World
Scientists have discovered a desert moss, Syntrichia caninervis, that can survive extreme conditions on Earth.
This moss, found in various harsh environments, can withstand large doses of lethal radiation.
It may be even hardier than a tardigrade, a microscopic creature known for its ability to survive in extreme conditions.
Scientists believe Syntrichia caninervis could grow on Mars' surface, potentially aiding in future efforts to terraform the planet, making it more hospitable to humans.
