Not only can certain bacteria survive in space, animals can as well. As shown by the European space agency, when they sent some tardigrades up in a space craft:

Maybe.

Although there is no definitive proof, many people theorize that life does exist beyond the realm of this earth.

Yes.We are in space, and we are a life form.

Space is very big. ... Very, very, very, big!

There are lots of stars with lots of planets. Lots and lots and lots!

There could very well be another place with life too.

No.

In the dark cold interstellar space there is very little energy that could support life.

Great question. The answer is possibly there is bacterial life on other planets today but we do not currently have evidence that proves this conclusively.

Likely candidates for bacterial life in our solar system include the planet Mars, the Europa moon around Jupiter, and the Titan and Enceladus moons around Saturn.

Of these candidates, the most new research in the next few years will probably be happening on Mars, where a number of countries plan to put landers on the surface of the planet. The moons around Jupiter and Saturn are very interesting possibilities to study but unfortunately, a number of planned missions to these moons have been changed and/or canceled because of funding problems.

Some probably do, though we cannot know for sure. Because exoplanets are so far away, it is hard to get much information about what they are like, so we currently have no way of determining if an exoplanet has life. Given the sheer number of planets out there, though, it seems pretty likely that some should have life.

no there is not as there is no air in space and nothing for bacteria to live on (source of food) but there is bacteria on other planets because there is air and a source of food.

No because bacteria need water and even if they did survive they wouldn't be able to multiply because of the lack of water in space.

No,due to the fact that it is very hot in the center of the earth/earths core.
