ScienceCasts: Fruit Flies on the International Space Station

A new species is about to join astronauts on the International Space Station: Drosophila melanogaster, also known as the "fruit fly." Genetically speaking, the bug-eyed insects have a lot in common with human beings, and they are poised to teach researchers a great deal about voyaging into deep space.

So NASA feels it necessary to censor the Vitruvian Man genitals?
In a science video, about biology, the drawing of naked man from the Renaissance is considered just too obscene... Freaking ridiculous, and disrespectful towards da Vinci's work.

Those bananas don't looks rotten, just ripe. I'd eat them.

Es solo un pequeño vuelo para una mosca, pero un gran salto para la humanidad

Wondering why the ISSA doesn't have an "artificial gravity" module...like the rotating drum shown on so many Sci fi shows about long-term space travel.

If one fly let go in zero-gravity, what it's gonna do, where to go and what think?

You're breeding a super space fly! It will take over the ISS and invade Earth, soon. May the Flying Spagetti Monster help us all!
