Are there other sources which can corroborate this story? There is an article in reuters here https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-israel-space-moon/israeli-spacecraft-beresheet-reaches-moon-but-landing-unsuccessful-support-team-idUKKCN1RN2Q8 https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-israel-space-moon/israeli-... which outlines the crash, but no mention of dna/tardigrades. There is another article here: https://phys.org/news/2018-09-lunar-library-photos-dna.html https://phys.org/news/2018-09-lunar-library-photos-dna.html which mentions synthetic dna but no tardigrades. Did Wired just reference tardigrades purely to make a clickbait article?
