Scientists identified Syntrichia caninervis, a desert moss with potential for space exploration. This moss is extremely tolerant to drought, cold, and radiation, recovering from over 98% water loss within seconds, withstanding temperatures as low as -196°C, and enduring gamma radiation with a half-lethal dose of 5,000 Gy. Widely distributed globally, it thrives in deserts and mountainous regions. Its unique leaf awn collects water efficiently, making it ideal for harsh environments.
