'Space sex geckos' found dead upon return to Earth, Russia says
Five geckos launched into space on board a satellite for an experiment on sexual reproduction in zero-gravity were found dead after their spacecraft returned to Earth, the Russian space agency said Monday.
The geckos, which became popularly known (in various iterations) as the “space sex geckos” after Roscosmos, Russia’s federal space agency, lost contact with the satellite shortly after take-off as it hurled through space on July 19.
Contact was eventually re-established six days later, but it wasn’t clear if the craft’s life support systems remained functional during the communication blackout, or if the geckos survived during that period.

Well at least that satellite must have been well insured 
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Perhaps it was simply a case of one re-entry too many.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Fucked themselves to death at the first opportunity. Typical Commie Gecko behavior.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

This is why the ISS is such a waste of money. All the astronauts are too busy, you know, "doing it". It's a little-publicised side-effect of the Van Alen belts.laklak wrote:Fucked themselves to death at the first opportunity. Typical Commie Gecko behavior.

Any sensible gecko (5:1) would realise if it's too good to be true then it probably is too good to be true.
