A breakthrough in finding a specie called "Water Bears" that can survive and multiply in space

A breakthrough in finding a specie called "Water Bears" that can survive and multiply in space:

Our ancestors in India could count 8.4 million species on earth. While our past few generations and my generation still could not find that many number of species on earth. We need to expand our Research. Naturally as we grow in number and variety on earth, then, there could be few more species that can survive in space, vacuum, multi-terrain or even space travel and beyond.It is not imagination these are the facts.Hence, I still feel we are very very slow in progress of scientific research on earth. There are still billions and trillions of ethical and advantageous possibilities we have not attempted yet on earth that could help us grow human civilisations in multiple places in the Universe rather multiverse I would say now after knowing billions of galaxies.The crux, is more people need to be involved from various countries and that too Faster and on wider Research.
