China to send pig sperm to space

Scientists hope to study the effect of cosmic rays on the pig sperm
China is planning to study the effects of space on sperm, by sending the semen from pedigree pigs into orbit.
Some 40 grams of pig sperm will be taken on board the Shenzhou VI spacecraft for its October launch.

Some of the sperm will be kept outside the spacecraft's biological capsule and some inside, according to China's Xinhua news agency.

Surviving sperm will be returned to Earth and used to understand better the processes involved in pig reproduction.

The pigs chosen are a breed called Rongchang, named after an area in the southwest of the country and famed for their physique and for the quality of their meat.

Agricultural experts hope to use the sperm to fertilise pig eggs back on Earth - to see what effect a period of microgravity will have had on the sperm's activity.

China's first manned spaceflight two years ago made it the third country able to launch a human into space on its own, along with Russia and the United States.

During the upcoming mission, two astronauts will orbit the planet five or six times.

Of all the important experiments to be done after putting your first astronaut in space, pig sperm is definitely the one I would've gone with.

it'd be sticky situation if they decided to bomb us with it.

I would like to be in the conference room when they came up with this idea

Perhaps China plans to establish a self-sustaining space colony!

Rongchang is Hunan Chinese for "Flying Killer Space Pigs with X-Ray Vision & Sonic Death Ray Squeals and Heart Stopping Thunder Grunts" . . . look it up.

If they choose to develop pigs in space, then the ability to launch them towrd us will threaten the balance of power, should they choose to invade Taiwan.

A couple of hundred porkers will do considerable damage to our Naval fleet when launched from space. Without metal, the radars can not track them.

STOP!!!! I'm dying from laughter and all I can think of is swedish meatballs for some reason.

orbital bombardment with meat missiles! :Q ingenious

Sperm will shower down upon the enemies, in the biggest ever bukkake.

To those of you questioning the experiments validity, the US has done hundreds of similar experiments. I know of a project just like this but with seeds that the US did and they shared the seeds with many elementary and high schools all over the country. Pork is an important part of Chinese cuisine, and the benefits could be great. (As a poster mentioned above, imagine giant slabs of bacon...)

WWIII if those prokers lose their guidance systems and come down on the Muslim countries

milk those pigs you crazy chinaman

But it's only 40 grams of the stuff. I'd swear I've seen videos where these chicks chug down 10 times that, easily.
