The fruit flies survived though, which probably tells us something. Maybe...

You never know when knowing whether geckos can breed in low gravity could come in useful!

Wait...sex geckos? And here I thought it was a typo for six geckos.

Why does anyone care about zero gravity gecko breeding, again? Maybe an astronaut wanted to take their gecko pet along? But that wouldn't even require breeding... Maybe an astronaut who is a gecko breeder on the side wanted to continue breeding them uninterrupted during the space flight? I don't know! Dunno

Well, I've looked into it, and it seems like they're trying to figure out a way to have sex in the zero-gravity environment of space. And, Moonraker aside, scientists still haven't figured out a way to make it work.
