Here's looking at you kid.

[Paladin2]

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

[EEGator]

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

[Yardstick]

Putting the “tard” in stardust.

[PeterPrinciple]

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.

[PIF]

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

[mikey_hates_everything]

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?

[dynachrome]

It looks like a giant a-hole

[humblegunner]

Scientists want to fire 'indestructible' tardigrades

Tardigrades?

That's like the D's and F's sent home to the parents of tardish kids?

[Sparticus]

“What could possibly go wrong?”

[MattMusson]

How do you think they got here?

[tet68]

Oh great, when we finally get there the tardigrades
will have colonized all the good planets

[SuperLuminal]

“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

[aimhigh]

With a $29 trillion debt, NO!

[Doctor Congo]

They might interpret this as a weapon or a threat.

Proxima Centauri is 20 light years away. Earth destruction in 40 years. LOL

[Magnetar]

The spice must flow

[TangoLimaSierra]

WTF are they supposed to learn? It would take thousands of years to get data back from wherever they go.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

How are they going to check the effect on the Tardigrades from light years away?

[algore]

Seriously this is a bad Idea.

I still get really pissed when I think about the Israeli mission that contaminated the moon with them.

WTF

why would you do that ?

We all know what will happen

[higgmeister]

It sounds like a fool's errand.   How would any data be collected?
