It's almost vacuum up there, so the water from the engines is diluted and diluted and the microorganism can't get enough of it. Probably they are only not-dying there, like inside a big freezer without air, only waiting frozen. It's not clear than they are viable, and that if we put them in a good environment they will thrive. Perhaps they are only microcorpses.
