Space, the final frontier and also the place you send geckos for your weird scientific experiments.

You may remember about a month ago I was telling you about this very strange experiment. Russian scientists wanted to send a bunch of geckos into space to monitor their mating habits in zero gravity. Then mission control was not able to control the satellite and we didn't know what happened to the horny little geckos.

Sad news to report that all of the geckos died. Experts say the geckos may have frozen to death after the heating system broke down, Russian news agencies report. "We can say with confidence that they died at least a week before the landing because their bodies were partly mummified," an official from Russia's Institute of Medical and Biological Problems told Itar-Tass news agency.

I was hoping this satellite mission would have been a success and when they opened the hatch hundreds of gecko babies came running out. Rest in peace you little horny geckos. You died doing what you loved.
