Four “butterflynauts” have emerged on the International Space Station. They are part of a suitcase sized educational experiment that was rocketed to space on Nov. 16 on space shuttle Atlantis as part of the STS-129 mission. Students of all ages and the public are invited to follow the tiny crew’s development from larvae to adult butterflies in the microgravity of space.

At least they don't crap on you as they fly over.

Do butterflies do that?

No, but birds do, as does life.

Just from varying degrees of height.

Exactly.
