Mice sperm can survive the radiation exposure of space, according to a new study, something that could be useful to humans in the future.。
SEE ALSO:Two NASA astronauts just completed a last-minute spacewalk outside the Space Station。Back in 2013, mouse sperm was freeze-dried and sent to the International Space Station for nine months. Back on Earth, mice were then artificially inseminated with the preserved space sperm. Those birth rates were pretty similar to mice made from Earth-preserved sperm from the same mice.
