Waspie_Dwarf Posted July 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Live animals launched on two-month space mission A high-flying package of live animals, plant seeds, and materials samples shot into space Friday aboard a retrievable Russian Foton satellite, launching a two-month mission focusing on microgravity research into biological and physical sciences.The workhorse launcher fired its kerosene-fueled engines and lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 2050 GMT (4:50 p.m. EDT), rocketing into a clear sky over the historic spaceport. Launch occurred at 2:50 a.m. local time at Baikonur. Read more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted July 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Nearly 60 years ago I felt sick when I saw photos of those traumatised monkeys that were sent into space then. Here we are in the 21st century and we have learned nothing. I absolutely despair of the human race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why there 's need for another junk satellite around Earth? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie_Dwarf Posted July 25, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The satellite is no longer controllable but the animals are still alive. What Hellish, perverted, sick mind came up with the idea of sending animals into space? The kind of hellish perverted sick mind that wants to better man kind. That wants to make sure that humans children don't suffer from deformities and genetic problems because their parents travelled into space. The kind of sick perverted minds that would rather risk the lives of a few geckos than human beings. The kind of sick perverted minds that have given us medicines that save the lives of human beings. What I think is sick and perverted is placing a few animals above a SINGLE human life. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted July 25, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2014 ^ ^ This way of thinking belongs in the 1950s(and goodness knows it was unnacceptable even then). This way of thinking is obscene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want to get up in arms over 4-5 geckos, when more than that probably die on Earth every day from not being fed properly. Good grief.

What I think is sick and perverted is placing a few animals above a SINGLE human life. 'better man kind': better in what way, exactly? Haven't men already travelled in space? Were any of their children deformed? Because the thing is, mankind won't learn anything about mankind by studying geckos. The geckos' lives are not theirs to risk. 'The kind of sick, perverted minds that have given us medicines that save the lives of human beings', as I said, this type of thinking is hopelessly out of date because comparing animals to humans doesn't work! Here's a thought: that guy on death row who took two hours to die, I bet he would have volunteered to be shot into space with a couple of female lifers and that would give you some truly useful results. They would have been able to tell you how it was for them. To say nothing of all the man-hours and money spent on this little jaunt which could have been better spent helping people who are sick now. 'What I think is sick and perverted is placing a few animals above a SINGLE human life' : seriously? You seriously believe that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magikgoddess Posted July 26, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Deep breaths Ouija sweety. I'm sure if we give them some time they'll be able to re-establish communication/contact/control and bring those adorable geckos down back to earth safely.

Sundew Posted July 28, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Lest everyone get up in arms, we are talking about a few geckos here, and possibly parthenogenetic ones at that: Some gecko species are only female and lay eggs that are clones of themselves. While I don't condone animal cruelty, space research must continue if we ever hope to colonize the Moon, Mars and beyond. And with any luck (and a lot of hard work) they may reestablish communication with the satellite once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
