travisurfer Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 RIP little buddy. Time to join your comrades. When a guy in a white suit from mission control comes over, it's time to run. Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 oh noes, i see him pulling up the driveway now. how sad Use your techincal prowess and turn this thing into a fuge for the RSM. THen you can release a new product... the RSMM (Red Sea Monkeys on Mars). love the idea! Every order received in the month of september gets a free spaceman also thrown in is a butt tail thingy Quote Link to comment

vwcdave Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Every order received in the month of september gets a free spaceman also thrown in is a butt tail thingy To me, the tail looks less like a tail, and more like an arm and fist coming out. Someone trying to escape? Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 That’s what I see as well. I think it is more than a gerbil up there, maybe a small person or child. I believe NASA needs to open an investigation, there maybe something going on here. Don't ask don't tell, unless something is sticking out of your rear. Quote Link to comment
vwcdave Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Kind of hard not ask about a small child climbing out of your poop shoot. Maybe thats how Sea Monkey's have babies (when they aren't cryogenically sealed in eggs). Quote Link to comment

StevieT Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Well, Mission control is reporting good news after leaving the monkeys to be on their own for 10 days. The first generation is now full grown and starting to find permanate homes to defend. Photos beamed down from Mars this morning: Quote Link to comment
Cali-girl Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Stevie, do you have to change the water on that thing? any plugs? or is it an All-In-One system?? Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 The directons clearly state that you should not change the water. So I suppose no. I am wondering if it would actually hurt. All I would have to do is suck out some old stuff and put some tank water back in. Mars is an AIO system, the spaceman must clean it for me Quote Link to comment

StevieT Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 In the first test of its kind, researchers exposed the hardy segmented creatures, called "water bears," to the open and harsh vacuum of space, with all its deadly radiation, on a spacecraft in low-Earth orbit. Many of them survived. The water bears, known formally as tardigrades, have an ability similar to brine shrimp (also known as Sea Monkeys), which are familiar to many children for their ability to come to life after being sent to homes by mail-order. Tardigrades are speck-sized things, less than 1.5 millimeters long. They live on wet lichens and mosses, but when their environment dries out, they just wait for a return of water. They also resist heat, cold and radiation. Awesome! Quote Link to comment
KMitch Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I have nothing to say except... LOL Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This thread is getting more educational all the time. Quote Link to comment
KMitch Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Then its going the wrong direction!!!! BTW I agree it looks like a fist in the monkey butt... maybe thats where the term 'fisting' came from Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 I am so sending my monkeys into space. Walmart sells those rocket kits right? Oh wait... they already are in space, duh, I didn't need a yahoo article to tell me they can survive Quote Link to comment
KMitch Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 OMG that would be awesome if you built a little capsule with a monkey in it and launched it into space. Wonder if any fish have ever been to space Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 STOCKHOLM, Sweden - German researchers on Thursday launched a rocket carrying 72 small fish on a brief space flight to study motion sickness. The cichlids were in an unmanned rocket that blasted off from a launch pad in northern Sweden, said Professor Reinhard Hilbig, who was in charge of the project. The thumbnail-sized fish were filmed as they swam around weightlessly in small aquariums during the 10-minute space flight. The German team will now study the video to see if some of the fish swam in circles because that is what fish do when they experience motion sickness, said Hilberg, of the Zoological Institute at the University of Stuttgart. He said the scientists hope the experiment can help shed light on why some people experience motion sickness while others do not because the mechanisms involved are similar for both fish and humans. Hilbig said the fish landed safely and appeared to be in good condition. "They were very happy, I think they want to have another flight," he said. Cichlids were picked for the experiment because they are sturdy fish who were deemed to have good chances to survive the stress of a space flight. "Goldfish are a little bit fat and messy, while the cichlid fish is a well-trained, sporty fish with muscles," he said. "They were very happy, I think they want to have another flight," he said.

KMitch Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 He's been spending too much time with his fish if he thinks he can tell they are happy after a space flight?! maybe they were happy to be back at sea level! Quote Link to comment
vwcdave Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm waiting for a update on the fish in space. This thread is how I keep up to date on the latest advances in the science of space. I'd love to see what the space fish tank looked like. It'd have to be an awesome all-in one. When in the zero-gravity-ness of space, what would happen if you removed the walls from the aquarium slowly? would the water float out? Would it stay as a cube at first, and then break apart as the fish swam around? Could the fish then swim right out of the water? Would they be able to "swim" in the oxygen inside the spacecraft (until they died at least)? My mind is blown. Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Well luckily my monkeys have figured out the science behind living in space. They do live on mars, which has permitted them a perfect climate to live and build a civilization. Just in from Mission Control: Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 YES! Halloween is done Quote Link to comment
Chrissy Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 YES! Halloween is done LMAO I was searching for monkey costumes, because my daughter is in a monkey stage...and that picture came up...I immediatly thought...StevieT!!! Quote Link to comment
