Space Roaches


As if Cockroaches aren’t resilient enough already, Russian scientists have gone and bred super space cockroaches. Fanfuckingtastic.

Cosmic cockroaches faster developers, Russian scientists say

“Cockroaches conceived in space onboard the Russian Foton-M bio satellite have developed faster and become hardier than ‘terrestrial’ ones, a research supervisor said on Thursday.

The research team has been monitoring the cockroaches since they were born in October. The scientists established that their limbs and bodies grew faster.

“What is more, we have found out that the creatures… run faster than ordinary cockroaches, and are much more energetic and resilient,” Dmitry Atyakshin said. “

Now we will have to make sure that the bionic-eyed bunnies have some cockroach detection system to help us out when these new space roaches make their way back to earth.
