Spiders Get Their Space Legs
November 21, 2008
A pair of spiders flying as an educational project aboard the International Space Station seem to have gotten the hang of weightlessness.
Their first orbital orbs were messy, disorganized affairs, but a week into the flight television images beamed back to Earth showed surprising progress.
“We noticed the spider made a symmetrical web,” station commander Mike Fincke radioed to ground controllers on Friday. “We’re really amazed that the spider could adapt to space so quickly.”
Flight directors replied that the spider video had become the team’s favorite form of entertainment.
“We used to be your major form of entertainment,” Fincke replied. “We’ve been overtaken by spiders.”

I'd love to see more pics. Didn't take too long for the spiders to adapt did it.
