Worms In Space

NASA continues with high school science experiments to fool the dullards into thinking they're seeing the real space program in action.

US shuttle takes worms into space

"The US space shuttle Atlantis has blasted off to the International Space Station to deliver spare parts - and up to a million microscopic worms.
The mission is set to include three spacewalks to store hardware on the outside of the orbiting outpost.
The worms are for experiments that aim to help scientists understand why human muscles waste away in zero gravity.
The species Caenorhabditis elegans, can sometimes be found in rubbish tips, where they feed on bacteria."
