This is useless information, unless they did a control group which did
not go into space. If they did, I'd like to know how many of the eggs
fertilized the day before the launch were dead by the time the shuttle 
landed (of those eggs which were fertilized but not launched). If they
didn't, I'd like to know why not, and what makes them think they are
doing an experiment worth paying any attention to.
