"Some of the experiments on Columbia survived, including a live group of roundworms, known as Caenorhabditis elegans. Investigators were surprised that the worms - about 1 millimeter in length - survived re-entry with only some heat damage. Some of the descendants of these roundworms flew into space in May 2011 aboard the space shuttle Endeavour, shortly before the shuttle program was retired." -- Elizabeth Howell, "Columbia Disaster: What Happened, What NASA Learned", 2017-11-14
