Crashed Israeli spacecraft deposited tardigrades on the moon that could survive for some time.

Man, that's just fantasy. With very limited resources, their time is limited. Surviving isn't the same as thriving, and they can't do that indefinitely. Nothing got "seeded." Tardigrades, poor unhappy creatures they must be, cannot colonize the moon.

Hipster asteroids spilled tardigrades on the moon before it was cool

It's interesting to consider the fact that we could be acting like the Johnny Appleseed's of spreading life around the solar system in our efforts at space exploration. :)

It's most likely that any signs of life in the solar system are from Earth where life began.
There is no need to worry about life anywhere else.

They cannot colonize the moon, but in experiments they have been shown to tolerate near absolute zero temperatures and lack of atmosphere. They revive when conditions are right, but survive in stasis on basically nothing.

I bought a stuffed tardigrade for my sister a few years back.

Her condo is slowly filling up with giant stuffed animals. :clap:
I want one ... for my grandson of course.

Then all those bizarre space creatures George Lucas came up with were from earth all this time? Who knew?

In this particular case, you're probably right, their time is limited. If however we did that on Europa or Enceladus, they might figure out a way to thrive. :)

LOL! Well maybe there's just something about being on a foreign world which will cause them to attain higher intelligence, size and strength. And then maybe they'll seek revenge on the humans and invade the Earth for sending them out in space to die! "Revenge of the Tardigrades!" like a Star War's Film!

we will NEVER AGREE on the moon landing. type in FAKE MOON LANDING and WATCH.
Lol! So if Ophiolite was to suffer a brain injury and come to believe the moon landing didn't happen, you'd change your mind? I think not.

The position that no evidence would be sufficient to change your mind is not a scientific (or rational) one.
