Cockroaches from space
Cockroaches conceived onboard a Russian satellite are developing faster and becoming hardier than their earth-bound cousins.
Scientists have established that the space cockroaches' limbs and bodies grow faster and that space-bred roaches "... run faster than ordinary cockroaches and are much more energetic and resilient."
More resilient cockroaches . . . great.
