Freaks in Space

[Sid James]

Never Mind the fact that these are apparently the hardiest creatures on earth or the fact that they are sending some out into space to see how they get on .....


How come there's a creature that looks like a freaking vacumn cleaner bag on legs and I don't even know about it. Its even got that attachment thing at the front where you connect it to the cleaner ... WTF

Honestly who cares about this micro scopic organism thing. If it can survive in space, so what? What's it gonna do? OH look at me I'm like a ninja you cant see me, I'm so hard. Oh no wait im also so small that I literally have no relevance whatsoever.

I wish they'd just eject something cool, like a snake, into space and see what happens to it. Dicking about with something you need a microscope just to be able to see it. Oh please. Fuming here.

seems unfair to send these innocent little fellas up to their doom - can't we send koppites instead?

The TARDKISS study may help researchers such as Professor Guidetti develop techniques to protect other organisms, including humans, from the extreme stresses found under space conditions.

It may also help with the future long-term goal of extending the exploration of the Solar System.

So in nutshell its for the good of the human race because unless we can get off this planet and find somewhere else to live, were fooked as a species.

Snakes !! Is that you Indy
