Hank explains why NASA and the European Space Agency are in love with tardigrades and how these extremophiles are helping us study the panspermia hypothesis.

 

...with humor and wit, too, I would add.

"TARDIS in space--yes indeed. Interesting. Thanks.

Clever, those guys. Tardigrades do seem like something out of Doctor Who. Though I guess, really, it would be the other way around. But, yeah, when I first heard them call it TARDIS, I was like, where did I hear that before... Oh, right, Doctor Who!

 

The TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) is a time machine and spacecraft in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who and its associated spin-offs. A TARDIS is a product of the advanced technology of the Time Lords, an extraterrestrial civilization to which the programme's central character, the Doctor, belongs.

"Proof of Concept with TARDIS"

 

I was dissapointed when it wasn't about the concept of a Real TARDIS. >.>

Slightly off topic: I wonder if they have pockets like the Doctor does--have you ever seen him pull stuff out of his pockets? Like a ladder?

 

His pockets are in another dimension--like the Tardis.

Maybe I'll edit the title since that was pushing the limit on false advertising.
