Russian scientists have announced that 30 grandchildren of "space cockroach" Nadezhda (Hope) have been born! They're the descendants of the first known cockroach copulation in space, which just sort of
happened last September in an orbiting laboratory named Foton-M. Awkward!
The story, which appears to have actually been translated from Russian goes on to note: "Cockroaches are not known to inhabit the International Space Station, a long-term home to humans in space." [AFP via Breitbart]
