Crazy animals that can survive in space

Just found out about these and thought it was interesting. These guys can survive from -272 to 151C as well as extreme radiation and pressure

Cripes! Just pray that our beer never gets infected by them.

And the Clangers had proper galvanised bins, so council employees can survive there too.

I don't think it's a case where they can survive, it's a case of just how do you kill them, if their big brother ever turns up we're all in trouble.

Don't worry despite being almost immune to death they have no offensive capacity, also note theres no data on there alcohol tolerance so some home brew should put them down.

And closing the circle with the question again: how does one brew in space?!

Mashing should be a dream in a vacuum: no heat loss. But boiling requires 1 atmosphere of pressure. Hopextract could solve a lot.
