Nice July comment. Here’s my July comment.

I can’t say I know the answer, but I do know that one of these bugs – Tardigrades – are extremely hard to kill. IIRC one was put into a vacuum and removed after some time. It was either completely fine right away or after a little while.

If I had to give a guess to other things, some of them probably die, yes. Hopefully someone else who knows more will be able to give more information!
