So I thought this was pretty neat http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2008/11/20/mxp.spider.space.cnn until I read this http://redwolf.newsvine.com/_news/2008/11/20/2130969-nasa-loses-spider-on-international-space-station and thought about it being loose.

Do you think it might be accidentally zapped with a special ray gun and come back to earth invulnerable and ever increasing in size?
We needs to know.

To lose a bag of tools outside may be accounted as unfortunate; but to lose a spider inside sounds more like carelessness.

Maybe Homer Simpson's on board? Lets hope the inanimate carbon rod comes through

I was really curious about how zero gee would effect a web and looking forward to the result. Now I'm left wondering how disturbing it would be to have a creepy crawly critter wandering freely about the space station. Personally it would freak me out every time I had to suit up. Is that random itch on my ankle just an itch or is it the not really missing but instead can't be found arachnid?
