Tortoises in space
This is fascinating. I never knew that a pair of Russian tortoises won the space race.
If I’d known I would have called ours Neil Armstrong! https://spacecentre.co.uk/blog-post/...s-at-the-moon/ |
Them Russians seem to get everywhere. :)
I'm sure you could change his name and it won't bother him to much.:lol::lol::lol: |
One step for mankind 8 for the reptile world ! CB

This sending tortoises into space is pointless and morally wrong in my opinion!
When the original Horsfields went into space they came back with a 10% loss of body mass. What does a tortoise make of being in space? I imagine a frightening experience. This nonsense is still going on. In 2014 the Iranians put two turtles into space to see what effect this would have on their reproductive behaviour. Yes really. |
Quite right too Jonathan. Its all a bit strange as Tortoises have lived 200 million years on the ground what would it gain knowledge wise.
I could have added to their thesis on the impact of Turtles' reproduction in space. It is well know they become Ninja and fight evil. |
Total Ninja!
I just checked out the stuff that mankind decided to send into space but I wish I hadn't. If you're ready to feel disappointed in your fellow man / woman, here you go. I won't spoil it for you but some of it is just...sad. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/ne...ects-in-space/ |
