A current mission is planned by the Russian Space Administration to launch water bears at Phobos to study the scientific theory of panspermia.

>Some can survive temperatures of -273°C (-459 °F), close to absolute zero,[5] temperatures as high as 151 °C (303 °F), 1,000 times more radiation than other animals,[6] and almost a decade without water.[7] In September 2007, tardigrades were taken into low Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission and for 10 days were exposed to the vacuum of space. After they were returned to Earth, it was discovered that many of them survived and laid eggs that hatched normally, making these the only animals known to be able to survive the vacuum of space.[8]

>>1856806
Turning part of the atmosphere into oxygen, should we need a little extra when we get there. Also so it can spread and become a food source for later life forms, like maybe water bears. If we let the algae grow enough, and add in other simple life forms to eat it, Mars could continue life even if we kill ourselves.
