Description

You've probably heard that NASA sent jellyfish to space and 60,000 came back. That never happened. 60,000 is how many Dr. Dorothy Spangenberg raised on Earth so NASA could pick the 2,478 that flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1991. The real story is stranger: their babies were born in orbit, looked perfect… and many couldn't swim properly back on Earth. Full story in the related video. #space #nasa #jellyfish #shorts
