Building The Ultimate Space Survivable Organism

Have you ever wondered how life became what it is today? how simple protozoans became complex and diverse multicellular organism? The answer is of course, evolution, or to put it in more detail, the changing of heritable traits of a population across several generations based on reproductive success. Some organisms are capable of surviving extreme conditions through evolution over a period of time. Case in point, the scaly foot gastropod or volcano snail is a species of mollusc that lives in hydrothermal vents deep within the oceans. Cockroaches can survive moderate to high amounts of radiations with little to no damage.

​

These achievements are possible through the changing of their genetic information, allowing them to express different traits. Through different reproductive success rates, beneficial traits are spread while disadvantagious traits are eliminated.
