Three of those space varmints bear a gene

Three of those space varmints bear a gene that, scientists believe, fights osteoporosis, while the other three are just plain old everyday mice. While those six careen through space, a similarly outfitted group of six will be studied here on Earth as a control group. Staying in a drawer designed to offer a comfortable habitat in spite of the zero gravity, the space vermin are expected to calmly roam around (the sides and ceilings of) their cages, eating, drinking, and sleeping just as they would back home. "Basically, it's a little hotel," Joe Delia, of the shuttle Discovery, told Space.com. "They have a room and a place to eat and sleep."
