They say that in space, no one can hear you scream. Well, if you happen to be an insect, you aren’t going to do too much screaming to begin with, even if you can survive in space. In fact, there is just a small handful of organisms that are able to rough it out in a vacuum, and more often than not, the average fruit fly larvae is not going to be able to last in such an environment like us humans, which is why if it ever wants to travel in space, it would need to suit up just like an astronaut. Thing is, what would a fruit fly larvae “wear”? Enter this accidental discovery by researchers who managed to stumble upon what they call a “nanosuit” that envelopes insects, letting them survive in a vacuum, or space that is devoid of matter. This will be able to last not indefinitely, but for slightly more than an hour.
