I think it is a great program, and I am glad that the Russians can do it first.

Perhaps this will take a bite out of the publicity of the American space program.

Well hot damn. At least SOMEBODY in the world still has a flair for what science is all about. :vaultboy:

Doubtful. Last I heard, the American space program's own shark project was progressing swimmingly.

Russia sent the first dog, they must now send the first shark.
Please, it will make it that much easier to remember in history classes 10 years from now.

Sound stupid, but if we're to ever put animals into space that lack higher cognitive skills, if nothing else we can study the effect of vertical acceleration and weightlessness on animals in space.

Space launches are physically traumatic. Most humans wouldn't be fit for a space launch.

Japan should hurry with that mammoth and give us dinosaurs. Imagine that, Japanese dinosaur ninjas riding Russian astro sharks!

When I first saw the thread title, I thought it was the name of a B movie, but since it's not, I guess that means the title is still open for use...

But on the subject of the shark, at first, I was questioning what sort of purpose sending a shark into space could have, then I remembered what day it is.

I thought for sure this was an April Fools joke.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:46 pm

And then the russians decided to launch the first Space-Wolf and Star-Fox...

DO A BARRELROLL

Just as long as they don't mix any shark DNA into space dolphin DNA. Otherwise there'll be a mutiny in an alien ocean, which will hinder their mission to return to Earth with the priceless information they acquired!

To anyone who knows the reference: I congratulate you.

You are nice. Congratulating others should surely uplift their moods.

NO! All articles shown on the first of April are always real! It's a fact of SCIENCE!

If the sharks don't have freakin laser beams, I don't care. That's no achievement at all

You're welcome, my dear client.

:shifty:

Nah, this is Hammerhead. Jump the Shark is their overarching FTL program.

Operation: Flying Fish: When Sharks Fly, You die.

Could totally be a movie tag line.

Dunno. Do they have laser beams?

Dunno. Do they have laser beams?

As a mater of fact, they have Frikin Laser Beams conveniently located on the top of their heads. Or they would have if we had the budget. We had to settle for... something else aquatic.
