Russian scientists have sent 10 gerbils in space using a Soyuz rocket. The gerbils will remain in space for 12 days while scientists study the effects of space travel on rodents. All 10 of the rodents will be filmed during their flight. Scientist believe gerbils one of the best suited rodents for space travel because they can live without liquid for a month due to their ability to produce very little waste. The gerbils will be kept in specail cages with cereal and nuts.
