I think I know a really funny prank we can pull with the next supplies shipment to the space station lol.
i would think of a fly or gnat, or cockroach way before spider. and if i thought “spider!” i would be cool because spiders are chill.
Couldn’t a spider hitch a ride on something brought into the rocket?
Maybe, but I have to admit that I’ve never seen a spider hitchhiking on the side of a road.
I must be weird cause spiders are bros. I always help em out and move em elsewhere whilst telling em to keep on killing the enemy bugs.
Spiders are awesome especially the jumping varietals.
I’m from Australia.
Some spiders are absolutely bros.
Others seem to exist only to fuck you up.
Once you know the difference you’re fine, but I don’t blanket assume that every spider I find is a friend.
Spiders are usually Bros, but sometimes they’re assholes.
Had one in the bathroom, whilst I was showering. What did he do with all the hot steamy air? Why, crawl towards it of course. Never mind the frequent misteps that threatened to drop him on the floor because, oh I dont know, the ceiling is wet - no - crawling precariously to the danger is the most reasonable response…
Later that day, I’m just chilling on the toilet with my phone, and he wants to drop by to say hello. How does he do it? Hang down slowly and land in front of me? Lower himself onto the toilet cistern so as not to disturb me?
Hell no! Fucker decides to lower himself next to my ear and tickle it, so that I immediately respond with a hand slap that sends him into pieces.
I miss him in a weird way, but he was a real asshole.
Spiders are always welcome in my garden. They come with free pest control.
Did anybody see what happened to the spider experiments box over near the airlock? I could have sworn that was where I left it.
They went down to the planet and enslaved the ants that live there.
I understood that reference.
Not before the ants danced at a rock
I might need to split my mind in two and wait a thousand years to get this one
Except when there are: https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-what-happens-to-spiders-webs-in-space
Now, a study of orb spiders (Trichonephila clavipes) in space has revealed that these smart arachnids can orientate themselves with light when there is no gravity to tell them which way is ‘up’.
So you’re telling me they are already adapted to space, a place where they wouldn’t be size-constrained by gravity…
Pretty sure their size-constraint isn’t gravity anyways, it’s oxygen. Assuming arachnids ‘breathe’ like insects, anyways
Oh, shit.
That was a very cool read, thanks!
No spiders… yet!
Life finds a way.
That’s what the spiders want you to think
But thed did have an escape in 2008, I think they stole a tool bag (one went missing, so it must have been the spiders) Escaped spiders
Giant alien spiders are no joke!
Wouldn’t a giant slider be just a burger?
Damn typo
Gotta use that Anti-bio Beam
You have lost [crewmember]
Project Hail Mary and the Firefall duology immediately come to mind. At least one of those kinda was a joke ;)
It’ll be a giant spider invasion of savings at Menards!
Imagine infestation with 🛏️bugs.
Portia didn’t like that
but what if they’re were, adam sandler would like a word
Friendly, loving spiders. Kindly.
Wait did she pay that while in space? Like do b they have just their phones with them?
Yes they do. I follow an astronaut on X who’s got tons of photography equipment on the ISS and regularly posts shots of various cities at night and weather formations as seen from space. It’s pretty cool.
It would suck if you remembered to bring your phone but forgot the charger.
They have computers and internet
I think they might have satellite internet
They do indeed have communications with earth.
