    I read that headline as meaning the geckos are up for anything sexually. Then I read the piece - there are four girl geckos and one lucky boy gecko - so I guess they are!;-)

    Sex Lizards From Space.
    I'm sure that will be on the SyFy channel soon, probably with Debbie Gibson in it.

    The poor animals are going to slowly starve to death, not that funny really.

    Nice to know that people care about the welfare of animals that aren't just "cute and fluffy", if this satellite contained a dog, cat or even a hamster people would be baying for blood!

    Its not often mentioned, but the first creature in space, the dog Laika, died when the capsule overheated. There was never any plan to bring her back safely:(

    Todays RSPCA would be up for a prosecution.

    It would be good if the craft was hit by 'cosmic rays' and the geckos mutated into superintelligent spacelizards, smart enough to come back and zap the shitty little planet which sent them up to die to smithereens.

    tha'ts some job, watching floating geckos getting their extra-terrestrial rocks off.
    I'm surprised they didn't broadcast it on the webcam.
    What were they planning, a gator farm on MIR?

    I lived in an apartment one summer where a gecko was also in residence. Freaked me out when I woke up one day and saw it directly above me on the ceiling. But I grew to love it.

    They only re-established radio contact.
    They won't be returning to earth as conquerors after having cosmic-ray mutated into the master race. Unless they have evolved so far they can engineer themselves a re-entry shield out of gecko pot noodle containers.

    This is how the lizard people take over, they evolve in space, build a time machine & come back to rule the world using really clever human suits to be the Queen and many, many other people!

    David Icke was right all along!

    Shits just got real!

    It sounds like the Russians were trying to make their own version of Snakes on a Plane.

    This has the plot of Extant written all over it. If any of them are now pregnant we're all doomed

    Sorry I clearly meant

    I for one welcome our new fruit fly overlords


    The only survivors of the Photon-M4 satellite's return to earth were the fruit flies
