The Text in English in my interview is as follows:

“What tardigrades show is that it is at least possible that life survive space travel,” says writer Mike Shaw.

Mike Shaw has written three books on the tardigrades. It is a curious American, he seeks the evidence alone.

Builds upon a well-known scientific theory, called panspermia. According to this theory, life came from space.

“If you believe that tardigrades came from space, as some think, then you could say that all life came from space,” said Mike Shaw.

Fantastico is the most watched show on Brazilian television on Sunday since its debut.  A survey by TV Globo in 2012 pointed out that the program was watched by 13 million views, with 23 rating points.
