What Are Sea Monkeys?
6. Space-Faring
There is so much that we have left to learn about space, and we have barely scratched the surface. We have been able to find some things out, however, and much of this comes from experiments on how life can survive in space. One life form that has left our planet for experiments is the humble sea monkey.
Four-hundred million sea monkey eggs were taken aboard the Discovery space shuttle in 1998. Here, they spent 9 days in space before returning back to Earth again. Eight weeks later, the eggs were hatched, and the sea monkeys showed no negative symptoms of their journey.
