MOSS IN SPACE : REDEFINING THE LIMITS OF LIFE

Moss spores have demonstrated the ability to survive prolonged exposure to space conditions, including vacuum, cosmic radiation, and temperature extremes, while remaining capable of reproduction. This remarkable resilience highlights the potential of moss in supporting sustainable life-support systems, oxygen generation, and soil formation for future extraterrestrial habitats, while also advancing our understanding of life's limits and interplanetary survival.
