Best Answer

Tardigrades-sometimes called water bears-are adorable microscopic creatures that can survive extreme cold, heat, and pressure. They can be frozen and brought back to life, all of which explains how some tardigrades have survived in outer space. Creatures that can live in extreme places are called extremophiles. They might offer a clue to how life could exist on other planets.

Why cant organisms survive in outer space?

Organisms from earth, cannot live in outer space. They need a stable environment and a place to evolve and reproduce. Outer space, does not have a stable environment it gets hot then cold in a matter of seconds. If you really think about it, what would the organisms eat? There's nothing in outer space that would provide them with food.
