Its good to see that Russia has the best interests of humankind at heart in the quest to explore the deepest reaches of the universe by blasting 10 gerbils into space for a 12-day mission to test the possible effects on humans of a flight to Mars.I bet Arthur C. Clarke never saw that one coming when he wrote "2001 - A Space Odyssey" which is just as well as "2007 - A Rodent Ramble" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Call me cynical but what similarities to humans does wee hammy hamster have that might be of any use apart from finding out that they might not like their muesli in zero gravity because the milk goes up their noses?
