Human does not count. Must be alive not a crashed dead animal. If multiple land in the same journey, they will split by percentage (50% if two, 33% if three resolve, etc)

Wonderful question

C. Elegans or other Nematoad

@JoshuaBartlett Just for you

bought Ṁ40 Tardigrade NO

Will you strictly require waking? A tardigrade in cryptobiosis can't walk.

@Ramble See my comment on the moon event, he'll accept 'wriggling'

@DavidFWatson as long as it isnt dead and wakes back up and actually wriggles i guess lol

bought Ṁ3 C. Elegans or other ... YES

@strutheo To be clear, it's gotta wriggle while on mars

@DavidFWatson is it used in experiments often? any reason to think they use a nematoad over a tardigrade or a mouse?

@strutheo Cards on the table: I'm not sure I'd heard of it before, I asked ChatGPT for likely candidates, it came up with C. Elegans as something that's often used for research.

human will not count

@strutheo why don't include humans? It's technically an animal too. And this way, you can easily compare the probabilities. I understand, it's your decision, but I think, including humans is better and more intuitive

@CyfralCoot i have another one about if we'll send an animal before a human actually: /strutheo/will-we-send-another-type-of-animal

Cow
sold Ṁ10 Cow YES

Before one of you crazies says that a genetically engineered miniature cow counts for this, I'm gonna say that if it can't interbreed with a standard cow and have viable offspring, it's not a cow

@DavidFWatson is there a word for such a pseudo-cow? if there is a new species we'll add it separate lol
