09. Could there be wildlife in space and, if so, how would it survive? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

When the Apollo 12 astronauts landed on the Moon they walked to the Surveyor space craft that had landed on the Moon several years earlier. They removed a camera and returned it to Earth. When the engineers opened the camera they found living and thriving bacteria. The bacteria had traveled from the Earth to the Moon. They survived in space for many years.
