You've heard of flea circuses!?!
Let's figure their natural abilities, and create a WATERBEAR CIRCUS !!!!
REALLY low overhead, mainly all you need is a microscope and camera, and tripod!

lol!
they are very common and easy to find. Find some moss wet it down, take a sample and look under the microscope.

how strong a microscope
@squiggy_70 here's a method
[microscopy-uk.org.uk]
you only need 15 to 30X. They are quite big relatively speaking.
@Lukian really? hmm do they die on our faces? they never die they must die some time. if not we should study them for the secret of longevity
@squiggy_70 Like I pointed out, the micro organisms on out face are not Tardigrades. As to how they die or not, I dunno.
these creatures can survive in space. there is a species living on our faces with no anus. it dies by rupturing on your face.
