NASA was considering sending canaries into space to study them under zero
gravity. The project was scrapped when someone realised that in spite of
having sufficient water supplies, they could die of dehydration within a few
hours. Why?
Someone asked me this question but i can't figure it out. Maybe one of you can tell me the answer.
Thnx Jesse West
Probably, canaries cannot drink water in the weightless environment, as they cannot swallow it up.
But within a few hours... i think it has something to do with flying around or lots of bowel movements
