Move over, lab coats—space suits are the new trend for science-savvy rodents! 🐁 Four specially selected mice have boarded China’s Shenzhou-21 spacecraft, joining taikonauts on a mission to conduct groundbreaking experiments aboard the Tiangong space station. Forget ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’—this is the real deal!
The furry astronauts won’t just be floating around for fun. Their mission? To help researchers study how microgravity affects biological processes, paving the way for future human deep-space exploration. Think of them as tiny pioneers in orbit! 🪐
China’s space program continues to push boundaries, blending cutting-edge tech with creative approaches. While the mice won’t be piloting the spacecraft (sorry, no ‘Ratatouille in Space’ sequels yet), their data could unlock secrets about long-term space survival. Talk about small steps for mice, giant leaps for science!
