Astronauts weren't the only living things on the space shuttle:
Nearly 100 left the launch pad but thousands returned.
Although living quarters were tight, huddled inside Plexiglas containers, the tiny fruit flies with pin-sized brains gorged themselves on sugar, multiplied by the hundreds and morphed from larvae into adulthood during their 13-day journey to space.

Oblivious to the reason why they were chosen to travel 5.1 million miles, the insects completed the first leg of their man-made mission inside the mid-deck of Shuttle Discovery with seven human astronauts. The insects' task was simple -- pass molecular clues on to scientists about the stress their tiny bodies underwent during their time in outer space.
