Dr. Fraudster is now going to torture very small creatures?

They’ll totally make up the data, and use the funding on coke and hooker parties.

Some alien race out there may decide we are stupid animals who deserve to be tortured to “follow the science”.
Karma can be nasty that way.

In recent experiments, tardigrades have been fired out of a gun to test if they could survive various landings on celestial bodies in space, as well as space’s harsh conditions
The tiny animals survived impact velocities of 825 meters per second, taking varying times to recover.
However, their survival rate fell to 0 once they were fired at velocities of 901 meters per second.

And what will the residents of those stars fire back? Interstellar war begins ...

Why? We’re nothing like them. Is this how we’re going to introduce Earth to the galaxy? With these things? And how do we stop or slow them down?

Scientists want to fire 'indestructible' tardigrades Tardigrades?
That's like the D's and F's sent home to the parents of tardish kids?

I hope they get themselves a slick Corvette, too. Wouldn’t want to see all that money wasted.

I like the scenario where the 'Tards suffer intergalactic radiation and cosmic torture, return to Earth impervious and Super intelligent.
And then they kick our butts.

We’ll send a note so they know to send us data on the tardigrades’ condition.

The velocities do not matter. It is the acceleration or deceleration forces which are important.

“Science”, today, is more-correctly spelled “sighence”...
It is a result of the massive, engineered drop in average IQ during the past 40-years...
When you factor in the massive drop in masculine testosterone levels since the 1960s, the peasants, in all walks of life, are both dumber and weaker...
America certainly has a bright future.../s
