I lol'd excessively..:

Germans to blast fish into space | The Register


Why fish... why not something like cats, or dogs.

well if you read the article (it's a really short one, i don't know why you wouldn't read it if you're going to post it), it's because fish react to motion sickness and zero-g sickness similarly to humans. should be very interesting considering the properties of water at zero-g...plus the lack of pressure differences due to depth will definitely confuse the fish. hooray science!

Not to mention, they will get a lot less flack for sending a fish up than a quadraped from PETA and the like.

True. Still, it is slightly odd.

LOL, I imagine the fish swimming in little spheres of water.

Actually, if you heard the radio series and or read the book, you would know that the movie was the worst thing to ever happen...

I listened to the entire radio series, twice over.. I went and saw the movie, I walked out completely disgusted.
