Moss Survived 9 Months in The Vacuum of Space : ScienceAlert So Fujita and colleagues strapped their spore cases to the outside of the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months, to find more than 80 percent of their spores could still germinate on their return to Earth "Most living organisms, including humans, cannot survive even briefly in the vacuum of space," says Fujita
